Re: Which wax?

I should have specified, I use hot wax with iron so there's no arrows. First I sharpen the edges. Then I clean it with a little citrus cleaner and scrape out any bruises, rub the wax stick on the bases to apply, iron it in, scrape it real good, then I finish it off with a scotch brite pad and done....

Re: Which wax?

For the skis I purchased prior to the beginning of last season, I shelled out for the Phantom Glide treatment. It's a polymer that acts like wax, but the particles are much smaller so they fill the pores of the ski base well beyond the surface layer and never wear off. Every time you have the shop g...

Re: Which wax?

Definitely scrape well and brush to remove wax from surface and structure. If you are worried about your technique, have the shop wax em to compare... Keep in mind wet snow is almost always gluey. If you ski through a wet gun, expect your chin to hit your (poor) knees!

Re: What Can the New Owners do to Fix K This Season

This was absolutely infuriating . . . Cut with ZERO regard for skiing or riding . . SHAME Killington sculpted trails instead of the old days of goat paths. Still not happy about the hack job in Vagabond/Scarecrow/Tinman though. The downhill-side boulders and debris can be SHOCKING on powder days. B...

Re: What Can the New Owners do to Fix K This Season

Storm Operations. This isn't the West where you need to wait for avy control. Getting lots plowed, lifts dug out and prepped, corrals prepped, trails cleared for use by patrol, operational issues identified and communicated, need to all be completed well in advance of daily start times. It's a ski r...

Re: Killington Sold

This doesn’t smell like “local guys partner to make Killington live up to its potential for skiers, community and investors”. Smells more like private equity looking for their multiple then dump it… I’ve seen what happens to companies when PE moves in. It’s not pretty except maybe for the investors...

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?

I think the no tax on tips thing is a pretty dumb policy anyway, for multiple reasons. Why should one broad class of workers have most of their wages be tax free? Who pays for the shortfall in revenue from what amounts to a targeted tax cut? What prevents all kinds of new classes of wage earners fr...

Re: 2024 Election

Over / under on when Trump fires JD? He's proving himself to be a real extremist freak show. He stays on and Trump will get killed in the suburban women demographic, which he absolutely needs to do better with than 2020 to win. I bet they replace him right after the DNC. They don't want to trot out...

Re: 2024 Election

Never should have been in it. Senility doesn't start overnight. Let's get ready for a second term of trump. Biden's physical and cognitive abilities appear to have diminished since the State of the Union address. Not sure if that's health or the rigors of a presidential campaign schedule, but somet...

Re: Timing of Killington Forward

I don't think thats the right question as I believe the goal was to install the water main and while they had the road ripped work on the grade. They easily could have trenched the existing roadway without a full width reconstruction and regrading. The Town had the regional planning commission make...
