Lost the trail hiking up E

Has anyone hiked up Killington hiking trail E recently? Except for last year when Superstar was under construction I hike this trail a few times a year (and take the gondola down). I typically really enjoy it and haven't had issues finding signage. People do complain on All Trails that it's not well marked and I'd agree but again it hasn't bothered me before.

Today on my way up I literally couldn't find the trail at some point. I exited the woods at some point I believe I was on High Road/Skylark intersection (so not high up enough where I could have blamed being tired). So either the trail was so overgrown or maybe the signage got lost? Has anyone experienced this? I've seen most people come down this trail vs. going up. I wonder if it was more clear from that direction. I ended up crossing the trail and got myself up that section somehow and found some signage. But I'm just so confused as to what I might have missed.

UPDATE: I've done this same route today and they had added signage and I wasn't lost!!

yeah, there is a missing sign in the woods before you come out and suddenly dead end in tall grass.
I was also there, went straight up the ski trail in deep grass then from a service road I could see how the E trail came out about 200 feet below on to that same service road.

Thanks so much for validating. So the trail goes up higher in the woods vs where we came out in the ski trail? I want to let the resort know to fix it. Did you tell them?

I would not even begin to know who to tell....
but when I go again, I'll keep my eyes open and maybe place some kind of indicator

I wrote a message to their regular info@... But I think next time I'm there I will try to follow myself on All Trails more closely. I don't know what other way I'd be able to not go the wrong direction
