I finally uploaded the few pictures I took in Killington last weekend. I would've taken more, but it was too darned cold to take my gloves off. I've posted them here in my gallery. My favorites are these two -- one of Rob and Michael dressed to the nines in the gondola, and the other of the many inches of ungroomed fresh powder we spent all Sunday skiing through.
And, lastly, Nick and his bird Ollie being silly.

Oh, God, please tell me that's the bunny slope. And even with all that powder YOU CAN SEE BUSHES POKING UP! I know East Coast skiing is not the same as going to the Rockies, but I kind of thought Killington was on an actual mountain.

Oh, that was at the very very bottom of the base of the mountain (probably 500 ft vertically below the parking lots). And that's not an actual marked run, people just skied through it to take advantage of the powder. We skiied in from the left, which you can't see in this photo. But yes, the snow "cover" in the east is different then the west -- a base of <50 inches is the norm, so in ungroomed areas you will see bushes and stuff who's summer height exceeds the snow cover sticking up from the snow, but where there is snow making and grooming, you don't.
