I know: the lure of golf, yard work, biking, and spring school sports, yadda yadda yadda. Regardless, it still blows me away. Love to see the enthusiasm for the sport, but it is not for me. I'll wait until more terrain opens and snowpack deepens (hopefully).
The fact is, that a very small percentage of skiers are out early and late season. The reason Killington is crowded (besides the fact there are only 2 open trails), is that there is no one else open.
