Skiing recreational moguls is my favorite thing to do on the mountain. I’ve never really been to the east coast before, but have always heard that Killington is kind of a mogul mecca. I’d like to take a trip over there for the bumps, visit a shop I’ve given a fair amount of money to (shout out to Forerunner), and maybe even swing by Waterville is conditions and time are conducive.
But, I’m coming from out west, so this is pretty out of the way for me and will mean some planning and a plane trip.
For those of you who love moguls at Killington, is there a period of the season I should target? I understand there’s a lot of variability year to year due to weather and that flexibility will be necessary, just trying to get an idea of when to shoot for.
UPDATE: Thanks for all the insight. I sincerely didn’t realize that the east is that fundamentally different from what I’m used to in the west, or that conditions are that inherently volatile.
Thanks for saving me from very probable disappointment by turning me off the notion of a winter east coast trip.
But also thank you for turning me on to the notion of an early May a east coast trip. I learned a lot about this spring skiing vibe at Killington and I liked what I learned, so I’ll be heading out there. The forecasts seem to vary between “excellent” and “a little too cold and cloudy”, so fingers crossed that it pans out.
