Reminds me of when Kraft started negotiating with the CT governor to bring the Patriots to CT. Fancy big stadiums were designed on cocktail napkins, financing was offered, news stations carried speculation. It reached a hot pitch. Boom, MA agreed to build a new stadium.

Doesn't seem very will thought out. Requires either installing a bridge under the road after getting off the lift (expensive), or taking your skis off. It will need snowmaking, which will require cooperation from the mountain. However, Killington would want something that solves their new upper lot ...

The app is showing everything opening at 8 other than the Gondi and canyon?

I’m heading to get a spot at bay one

Right - And that same App is showing Breakaway is open !

You’re in for a rude shock when you get down to Bear.

>1000$ seems likely. It was at >500$ fifteen years ago. That was pre-Act 250.

105”? Either her higher up gave her a stern talking to about job performance or Mother Nature’s gummy just kicked in.

A typical K powder day - outstanding ski conditions but confusion and unpreparedness by K staff, as usual. Checked the app when I left the house at 8:40 for lift delays - Snowshed looks safe. NOPE! Got to Snowshed at 8:50 to discover after I started booting up in the lodge that all the lifts from t...

Although Superstar is a vital lift with many hours on it, if it weren’t for the World Cup I doubt we’d see that prioritized. The plan for moving it seems poorly thought out. Leave it where it is. Lately, POWDR’s interest in infrastructure seems to extend no further than improving how the resort is p...

Both the lift and the snow making are in poor shape. It will require a significant investment of capital to restore it to its glory. On top of that, it’s an expensive lift to operate, it requires a lot of manpower, more than a conventional chair or bubble lift. No doubt POWDR has mixed feelings abou...

Onto the SPE about 9:30 and immediately noticed the noisy surface. I’d find that to be the case everywhere at Bear. The forecast and the rising wind made me cautious about leaving that side; I didn’t want to end up calling for a ride or taking a bus. I talked to some peeps that came to Bear because ...

So you dump your girlfriend/quit your job/leave your resort and you expect her/them to beg you to take them back? That’s not how it works. It’s more like this:

Someone was excited about their first trip to K and u guys sh*t on it. Way to be assholes. Why say anything at all? New here? Bit rich coming from a guy with (checks notes) 93 posts. Just because Kzone gives you the freedom to be an a**hole, doesn’t mean you should make that choice. I appreciated t...

I dunno. It is April 1st.

Okay, an actual report… Good groom with a half inch squall chaser made for sweet conditions at the bell. The younglings hot footed it to the easter egg hunt outside KBL, complete with an appearance by the bunster himself. Crafty nine scored himself a kids day ticket for next year. Skiing was good ea...

Firm start with a healthy dose of wind, but as the day wore on conditions improved. An early morning peak to creek proved the naysayers wrong; still good coverage to the bottom. Bar looked inviting, too. Not much time left for a visit though. The Needles Quad came out of its wind induced hibernation...
