Re: Timing of Killington Forward

The parking and shuttle situation isn't going to be any different than most of Killington's competitors. Mount Snow, Stratton, and Okemo require a shuttle from most of their lots, especially if you don't arrive early. Which is why many have argued that close-in parking gives Killington a competitiv...

Re: Superstar chair

Since the aliment is changing why not do everything butt the top terminal starting in the spring while skiing is ongoing assuming the bottom terminal will be located just below the air bag slope. It could be split into 2 seasons or just do the top terminal later in the summer after the closer and th...

Re: Superstar chair

Would a six pack get a barn? Do they have the space to build one at the base of Superstar. It will need a barn if the chairs have bubbles. Not necessarily. Dopp D line terminals double as rack barns and that racking system is an automated 1 button push. I have seen some be open air terminals with t...

Re: Timing of Killington Forward

Interesting document. The schedule on the last page shows the phase 1 village construction starting in September of this year which assumes that the ACT250 amendment process will take 6 months as shown (Feb - Jul). Seems unlikely but they must have gotten some feedback from the ACT250 people about ...

Re: Superstar chair

From K's perspective, seems to me Superstar is the obvious choice by process of elimination. They probably don't want to replace the Ramshead or Snowshed lifts because the village construction. As discussed in other threads, I really don't see them investing much in the Skyship because the ROI is n...

Re: Superstar chair

Air pressure is used to release the brake. So, if air pressure is lost the brake will apply itself. This is typical of a truck air brake system, I am assuming what is on Superstar lift would be similar for safety reasons.
Will the new lift have a bubble with heated seats?

Sounds like the spring pass sales were weak. If no one is showing up I can't blame Mike for shrinking the footprint and cutting their losses.

Re: Spring Shrinkage Schedule ?

Well my favorite Killington lift is Skyeship, so we're somewhat in common. It's by far the fastest lift, serves the longest trails on the mountain, is a long enough ride to actually warm up on cold days, and is straightforward to get on and off of. I've just always found K1 to be a slog to lap. I'd...

If you spend $5 Mill do you want everybody and their granmother riding YOUR lift? Proably be restricted like the relocated poma.
