And that new netting probably long overdue. the more experienced will know what to do, even it involves some effort.

Re: Is Killington for sale?

"Weird inflation spikes" 🤦‍♂️ Yeah, as in, the cost of certain items went way up, but the cost of other things didn't change much. Example - PPI for machinery and equipment parts spiked by 5-6% in late 2023 - well above the average rate of inflation for that period. By contrast, over the ...

Re: Is Killington for sale?

To be fair I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see that charging $20 for 100 people is not a money grab. 'to be fair' - could be insurance related, simply taking a small bite out of increased premiums. not many events like this are free anymore. 'money grab'' a little harsh is all, so may ...

Re: Ski width and late-in-day killington “sand piles”

96 Volkl M6 and 102 Volkl Mantra are my two daily drivers. Today was day one for my new 108 Volkl Katanas after they sat by the front door for the past three months. Some of the best snow of the season today. Ok be honest GIS - which do you prefer - the volks at 96 underfoot, or the mantras at 102?...

We stayed home because of the choked slopes last few years . Was it not bad or typical Saturday president weekend lift waits ? North Ridge quad looked light most of day on cam.
