Snow Zone

Devils Fiddle from Andrew Weyl on Vimeo.

It’s been a few years since I skied Devil’s Fiddle on Bear Mountain at Killington, Vermont.  The main reason? It was rarely open or had very little snow on the trail.

Well, it’s good to see they are making snow again there, according the K-Man, Tom Horrocks.  Here’s a video shot from a helmet cam that’s posted on Killington’s insider blog. Tom says it’s been three years since they made snow there, mainly because some hydrants and snowmaking work had to be done. I checked the trail report and it’s still open today. Cool.

Next time I’m at the Beast, I’ll play the Fiddle. I just hope those rocks are covered.  In all fairness, the video was shot last month when they started making snow.

I wonder if they still have that sign at the top of the trail that read: “Expert skier? You Better Be.”
