KMS Freestyle's Freeride contingent is off and running! After a summer of training at PSI Bandit Camps and on the glacier out at PSI CAMP/Whistler with guest coach Mike Henituk, the crew is ready for attack under the direction of Coach DJ Montigny.

Check out Mike Henituk's sessions in the Poor Boyz Productions new movie, Everyday is a Saturday. The movie was certainly a source of inspiration for the group at their first rail jam this Saturday. The movie entertained the group in between physical testing all last week at KMS. Mike Henituk is a member of the BC Freestyle Team up in Canada. Mike follows the same snow plan as the freeride contingent at KMS - a mix of moguls, slopestyle, rail jams and big air!

It was also great to see newcomer to KMS, Ben Smith back on his skis as he has recovered from a season ending injury in January during a photo shoot at the Dew Tour. Go Benny!

A big shout out to Devon - hope you are feeling better!

Game on!

It is SO exciting up here - funny what a little snow can do!!

So, the plan is:

Saturday:
Meet at 9am - pick up at 3:30pm.
Drop off at KSC - pick up at KSC or KMS - TBD at lunch.

Coach Justin will meet Kat times 2 and John at KSC. Plan on touching base at lunch with Justin to see what afternoon plan is. If it is a TOTAL MAD SCENE, then he may take them back to KMS to work out and hit up the trampoline in lieu of battling the crowds in the afternoon. Coach DJ will be at the rail jam with some of the freeride crew on Saturday as well - so maybe they will check out that during lunch, too. On Saturday some of the KMS crew have a community service project that they are working on - some will likely be on the hill free skiing.

Sunday:
Meet at 9am - pick up at 3:30pm.
Drop off at KSC - pick up at KSC or KMS - TBD at lunch.

The KMS Full Time crew will join the KSC-KMS on Sunday with Coaches Justin, DJ and Matt.
KMS dorm crew should plan on DJ picking them up at 8:45am.

Seeded moguls coming to Killington

Killington has long been known as a mogul skier’s paradise, especially with Outer Limits, the longest, steepest mogul run in the east. And of course, we can’t forget Superstar’s super bumps on a warm spring day!

For the coming season, mogul skiers will see, well, more moguls here at Killington! We’ll be offering a seeded mogul run for the 2009-10 season on Lower Vertigo. In addition, we’ll be looking at options for more “natural” bumps on some of our classic signature runs such as Outer Limits, Superstar and Ovation.

The mogul course on Lower Vertigo will be classified as a terrain park on our 2009-10 trail map and the status will be updated daily on our snow/trail report atwww.Killington.com
