Re: Vail Harming Stevens Pass Customers?
Vail's problems are not just in WA. https://coloradosun.com/2021/12/31/labor-shortage-vail-resorts-ski-areas-understaffed-omicron/ Minor point to add: Alex Kaufman, who is referenced in the article, used to work at Killington. 2002-2004 And somehow my login still works. And somehow so does Kzone.

Re: Ski the East Nails It
Glad it found its way here. I try to have a little fun with either SR or K each year considering I'm the only human on earth to have run opening day communications for both resorts. Word is Troy P got a laugh out of it too, which is nice. Ya'll may also enjoy this chit chat with K's events chief. Ne...

Re: The Latest from The Man!!!
I reply to all emails – [/quote] It's amazing what that one piece does for the whole operation. In other times and places, customer feedback is dealt with by a flack in order to keep it from inconveniencing the leader. Someone always loses in that game. Those willing to face their guests and their ...

Re: Lifts open at 8am again
Going from empty (lots, lodges, lifts) to holiday packed is more manageable in 3 hours than in 2 1/2. Just took one mega busy period to confirm it. It's a lot of people to squeeze through that snake. Good adjustment for the guests.

Re: A message from Killington's God/President
Do not discount the relevance of having ridden lifts with the guests for decades and being a true community member raising the family. Helps the mountains. Helps the guests.

Re: Hey what happens if K opens this Sat
Saturday highly unlikely. Saturday afternoon, possible. Sunday morning, slightly more possible WROD. It's no fun to make a bunch of whales (like what will happen tonight) and just watch em sit there...

Re: Solimano bringing back BMMC and the Longest ski season...
In today's business climate, insurance concerns and business risks can sometimes drive businesses to make decisions that are not always guest focused. Killington has let this happen in certain circumstances and sometimes become too corporate in instituting new policies. That is an amazing piece of ...

Re: Interconnect
They've been saying this for quite a while - the interconnect won't get started until the village gets going and, with the village in the Act 250 process now they can actually say it in a more positive way. Of course, if you believe the village will get started anytime soon, you probably also belie...

Interconnect
When is the last time K intentionally revived direct talk of the village and interconnect? I guess the answer is last week. I have not been watching closely. Forgive if a repost. I finally live close enough again to be interested. http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/20120729/BUSINESS03/707299951 Ki...

Re: March 27th Jay Peak blog post
Nearly every ski area marketer feels this in their bones. A rare few are both capable of expressing it AND allowed to do it. Boom. Jay Peak.

Re: 8:30 opening next season from K FB page
Skiers will adjust to this without too much issue. What will not adjust as well is the traffic flow into the Killington region, parking lots, ticket lines, rental, ski school etc. What used to occur spread out from about 7:45 until 10:30 will now need to occur in 30 less minutes overall. Will be try...
