Re: Is Killington for sale?

It's a good time to sell - they need to sink ALOT of money into this place. It's half dumpy and half nice. Stage 1 is a $20M problem - and the village is going to be very disruptive. They need new chairs at Rams, Supe, Needles - Another $20M?? Never mind the snowmaking......... They are already in b...

Re: Shuttle Bus rant

Park at Vale

Put ski boots on

Shuttle to K1 or Superstar lift.

Skip the rams to bloodshed mess.

I used to do it on Saturdays mid morning shift when the kids wanted to sleep in.

Weekdays......why bother.

Re: Do you trust the Skyeship?

NOPE - Too long - too slow - too many stops.

And it's horrifically loud.

Glad I don't own a $3M dollar house down there.........

Re: tuesday 1/23 report no bubble

Yep, Dopp is blowing LP out of the water on install performance and post startup reliability. No comparison... Is Aspen/Snow all LP? Lots of stops last week. Boyne is all Dopp correct? Things stopped maybe once the whole week we were there. K needs a refund on that bubble.... Heard Supe was down as...

KSC, maybe. Killington Ski School ministars? I think not.
Ministars are not club kids. That's the day lesson babysitting crowd correct?

Re: saturday 1/20 report

Not the first time an instructor took their “class” out of bounds. A ministars instructor took my kid and capboy’s kid to cooper’s years ago. They were -6 years old. Edit: And since the is the Saturday, 1/20 report thread… Plattekill was quite nice on Saturday. Wind was there but not that brutal an...

Looks like the old you tube videos of coops to Wheelerville are not there anymore?

Re: sunday 1/21 report

I’m curious - does Tait let you be the big spoon sometimes or are you always the little spoon? Great. Kzone’s had a shortage of homophobic a-holes in Humpty’s absence. Thanks for stepping into the breach. :roll: Hilarious - how is this a homophobic comment? Find something else to be offended by. Hu...

Re: saturday 1/20 report

Sounds like a bunch of folks went on the back country tour today. On 1/20/2024, at approximately 1430 hours the Killington Police Department was notified of 7-9 lost skiers/snowboardes in the backcountry. Killington officers spoke with VSP SAR Coordinator Drew Clymer and through investigation it wa...

Re: Expansion

Incredibly grateful for the useless information I didn’t ask for. I’ve done back country cat skiing in the Canadian Rockies where a transponder (and training to use it) was mandated. I was asking for someone with expertise on avi forecasting and prediction. You guys ain’t it. I won’t be wearing a b...

Re: Expansion

If I had to guess they still need more snow on GE whether they are making it or not. I don't think they got very much run time down low before this past storm. Very cold weather coming in after tonight’s storm. Since they have enough to open, would make sense to delay the low elevation stuff until ...
