    I'm from Boston in the 1970's me and my friends would go skiing there and other mtns in New England, it's so cool to be in the mtns cruising on the snow. Thank you for cool video, brings me back. Good luck.

    That was amazing! That's the kind of skiing I prefer to do nowadays. It's more coasting and enjoying the scenery and less like, "OMG if I make a mistake in the next 3 seconds I'm going to break my hip." lol

    My favorite chill run I’ve ever been on. Not a better way to end your day on the mountain. It’s better when there’s some side hits people have built up to make it a little more fun

    When they opened this in the 70’s, my favorite thing to do was hold a tuck top to bottom at least once a week. I had better knees and quads back then.

    Been going to Killington for 16 years and it never gets old. This trail Great Eastern along with Home Stretch with the narrow tunnels is awesome. Going all the way down to the route 4 gondola is the icing on the cake for Killington. It adds another mountain underneath an already massive mountain. It why I send most of the time there on the left side of the mountain (right side going down) pure blissfulness 💯✌😎

    1:42 "Bear Mountain Quad" is actually the Southridge Quad. 10:21 on the right where I'll be staying in 2 weeks. Great cinematography. Must be using way better equipment than I have. Well done.

    • @ampao
      @ampao  3 роки тому +2

      Maybe you did Juggernaught back in the day? Thats a trail thats been closed now, I remember doing that trail once during my learning years and that's a skier's trail. Lots of flats like you said. Juggernaught was part of their longest trail, Killington just changed that. Now it's this peak to creek.

    Killington once had a trail named 4 mile trail. The route you took is very close to the original trail. We used the Sky Peak gondola though and the top portion was known as Getz's woods I believe.
