It snowed 18 inches in Killington and we planned our trip. Then it rained for two days and never got colder than freezing. It was spring in Jan when we got there!

| RZ and Yuko last Feb. |
Killington has a gorgeous park- The Stash (http://www.thestash.com/). The Stash was built by Jake and the Burton team. The Stash is mainly made of wood (it goes hard). There are giant carvings of headless Yetis. There are five other Stashes in the world the newest is in Jackson.

Sunday night it finally froze and Mon. was a bit overcast (Yuko calls it Gassy) The infamous east coast ice came out in the afternoon with a sweet blue hue. The great Yeti, who had been killing it all weekend was finally taken down by the blue steel and it chipped his ribs. Q still drove home despite the offers from RZ.
ELEVATED LOCAL Yuko:
YUKO KAWAGUCHI from elisabeth toft on Vimeo.
Yuko grew up riding Nagano, Gifu, and Niigata. She works for Burton which is where I met her. She also does Kendo, rides a track bike around Brooklyn, makes killer omelets and quiche, and loves nail polish. Sometimes she puts make-up on Ryan when he sleeps. (video- RZ)
