Well, we may not have a website anymore for activeeast.com, but we are still around... kinda...
I have made my way west, and KA has made his way South a bit.  While WGL is still drinking that milk in the Dirty S.  People are getting jobs, and chasing their dreams for the past 6 months, and things will start to shape up once everyone is getting their bank accounts adjusted.

Were not dead, just in hibernation for a bit ;)

Killinton VT 2/11-2/13 2011

The group spent some time at Killington VT with the AIC crew. Good times. I am thinking that we will not be back to the beast for the rest of the season, so I guess we will let you in on the best tree skiing that we were able to find.
If you head over to the Snowdon lift, take the North Star trail. On your first left, you will find an entry point to the glades we found...
GREAT TIMES. They are nice and wide, lots of untouched snow, and no-one to be seen. We were by ourselves even on a Saturday.
Killington was living up to it super ego rep last weekend. We could have had some more snow provided by mother nature...but hey, we still had a great time.
Til next time.

Killington Day 1

Great day to Killington today! Snow showers periodically throughout the day with a massive squall at the end of the day dumping a few inches in less then an hour, a little crowded but some of the staff found refuge in the glades off Ramshed Mountain. We took a few quick runs through the Stash, Dream Maker and Timberline. Timberline was the favorite today but we are hoping to do more runs in the Stash tomorrow with smaller crowds. Took only a few videos today but plan on using it more tomorrow!

Keep checking back about tomorrow and look for some new videos being posted

1/26-1/27 NorthEast Storm

Well, I have been stalking the MANY weather sources online today about the snow that we should have beating on us in a few hours here in Springfield, MA. I must say, they cannot make up their mind. First, 8 inches, then 3 inches, then 5, next 7. I am going to make my own hopeful predictions: 8 inches here in Springfield by 8am. Also, I will be praying for school to be canceled so I can actually enjoy the snow (gnar gnar).

If I were to pick my favorite weather source, it's this guy named Ryan Breton. Check out his blog at http://www.atkinsonweather.com/

Maybe I'll see ya in the powder tomorrow?! Hope so....
