Killington is nicknamed the Beast of the East, and for good reason.

Today was a gorgeous day in northern New York. The sun was out, and at least where I was skiing, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.

I’ve not ridden all the lifts that get thrown into the lineup for coldest chairlift in the East, but I’ve ridden a number of them, and I’d say the Flyer Quad at Jay Peak is the coldest of the lot.

It was a windy day at Whiteface and basically all of the lifts, except maybe the carpets down low, went on wind hold at one time or another.

The title of this blog isn’t clickbait: It really is free for all. There are no lift tickets.

The snow from this storm was notably very light and fluffy.

It was a fun day in the woods at Jay, albeit a little cold.

Temperatures were below zero, and the wind chill was much colder.

Is there any better way to spend a Friday night than night skiing? I’m not sure there is.

Between the heavy falling snow, the powder on the ground and the incredibly strong winds, this afternoon was a wild one at Whiteface.
