Hey Hobart and William Smith posse,

Thanks to Laura Clark, Hobart and William Smith’s alumni coordinator and NYCSKI&Board’s newest posse member, we are headin’ to Killington the weekend of January 30th and 31st. She has arranged early-morning express coach services from Union and Times Square to arrive early Saturday just in time for the lifts to open. We will ride and ski Pico and Bear mountains, staying in our own condos (four alumni to a suite), and return Sunday.

And BTW, she has arranged discounts for single-day trips to Loon or Waterville Valley, so come back soon. See ya ridin’.

The Largest Ski & Snowboard Resort in Eastern North America

Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard resort in eastern North America, is known for long seasons, abundant natural snowfall, and the most extensive snow-making system in the world. Killington covers more than 750 acres, featuring 71 miles of diverse terrain on 141 trails, and provides skiers and riders of all ability levels a choice of wide-open groomed cruisers, narrow classic New England runs, moguls, steeps, and 13 tree skiing areas. Killington’s nationally recognized terrain parks at Bear Mountain offer freeskiers and riders multiple features for jibbing and jumping, including a 430-foot-long Superpipe with 18-foot walls.

The Stash @ Killington

The Woods are the goods.

Shredding in the snowy woods has always been the purest experience in snowboarding, the roots of freestyle. Jake and the Burton Team have teamed up with Killington and four other resorts worldwide to create the evolution of freestyle snowboard parks in the ultimate natural environment: The Stash. Taking advantage of natural terrain, local wood products, and all the creative elements the mountain has to offer, The Stash will take your freestyle riding to the next level. From rainbow log jibs and misty road gaps to hidden pow slashes and fast banks, The Stash mixes the best of every trail into one, wooded run that will test your riding flow. And better yet, The Stash was developed with the future of the mountain environment in mind. From the re-use of local trees and found objects to on-hill recycling, The Stash is designed to have more impact on your riding and less impact on the environment. Find your own line and take your freestyle riding to where the woods are the goods: The Stash.
