Haha yea, holiday traveling and that trip had me pretty much tied up. All that wonderful snow we got before christmas kept me in the airport for three days (wonderful days I might add) attempting to non-rev home. Finally bit the bullet and flew the cab of the skies, southwest, two days before christmas.

Pics are from Killington, VT. F-ING AWESOME place to say as an understatement, gross understatement. And I am going friday and possibly saturday too Chu, actually tossing around the idea of leaving right now, can't get enough. Its the perfect thing to do to get away for the day.
Anyone know which places in the poke-in-the-nose mts have decent and multiple parks. Never boarded out here in the winter and have only been to blue so far.

Camelbak is prolly is best for parks around this area, but also furthest I believe.

I think Bear Creek has a good park. Big jumps and alot closer than camel back and blue. Takes me 40min if theres no traffic.

Killington is fun, but I like Stowe/Smugglers notch better. Looks like you guys had good snow

Wish i could help and tell ya but i'm not really a winter person. Fair weather and golf for me all day. Speaking of golf, anyone else on here play golf? Once the weather turns, i really want to find some other people to go play with?

Sna, are you sure you need to roll your fenders for 18 x 9's? You might be ok unless your trying to run 265's...?

It would def be 255/35, you can't run 255/45 on a 17" wheel, too tall.

Killington is amazing. I've been to Stowe and Okemo as well but Killington was superior. My friends just got back from Breckenridge in CO. 3x the size of Killington hahaha

255/35 is the ideal size to run. Are you going to grab those REs off Will for these? Get the wheels mounted and realign the car with some camber before deciding if the fenders need to be rolled or not.

When Im driving my car in 5th gear, and press on gas and it boost up to around 10 psi and the rpms jump up and drop back down and it catches, is that my clutch slipping. It happens in alot of gears but after the jump in RPM, it catches and I get full power.
