It was great to see members of the Winter Park team at the Snow Conference Double Diamond Awards celebrating alongside Christopher as he accepted this well-deserved honor.

Congratulations, Christopher!

The HKD Service Team came together in Natick, MA for a week of hands-on training — and finished strong with a tour of Fenway Park. Nothing builds a team like getting your hands dirty together... and then heading into Boston to check out that dirty water.

Plan on late-Spring skiing? Head to Killington Resort - they have been piling snow on Superstar so you ski in shorts, a t-shirt and sunglasses in a couple months.

Superstar at Killington is absolutely BURIED by the new fully-automated HKD fan guns at the base. You can barely see the new lift on the bottom right. This is the first season with late-spring skiing on Superstar with these fan guns, and it sure looks like the snow will hold up!
