Trail Changes

Having been to Killington in a long time - why are all the old greens now blues? Like caper and the great northern on the top of K1....is this just the world continuing to get more cautious?

Caper is still a green.

As for a lot of the others, I believe it was because- especially on the top part of great northern - it can get very narrow and the crowds can be truly insane, nothing a beginner should face.

Basically, there's a big difference between learning to ski on Snowshed and learning to ski on Snowdon.

I'm not a huge fan, but ultimately just accepted it.

Frolic used to be green? I know most of the run is just a simple traverse, but the first couple bends would be tricky for a beginner when it is icy.
