5.7 Million Capital Expenditures for 2018

Post by rogman »

http://www.killington.com/company/media ... srelease66

Rob Megnin seems to have slipped this under the Kzone radar. Noticed a mention in the World Cup program, and went digging. Highlights:
- 163 new Low E tower guns as well as "other critical system improvements"
- Improved capacity of the Pico Snow making ponds via dredging.
- 3 new grooming tractors (Prinoths)
- Lift upgrades for K1, Superstar, Sunrise, and the Snowdon triple.

A lot of this appears to be already in house.

YOU'LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT.

Meanwhile John Cumming gets a fat stack of your cash and Copper gets a new lift, maybe.

So, Killington can blatantly lie about what their "capital expenditures" are valued at, but they are accurately reporting their World Cup visits.....?

I bet you it would "cost" them $10 Million dollars to put in a Double Chair.

You can literally go line by line and point out Killington's utter horse sh*t:

163 new Low E tower guns - PAID FOR BY 'ENERGY EFFICENCY VERMONT', not by Killington

Lift upgrades - Only "upgrade" is to the Snowdon Triple, paid for by KMS. Everything else is LONG OVERDUE maintenance, which is compulsory for a 2nd tier resort like Killington to perform.

Killington has **added** three new grooming tractors to its impressive fleet of snow groomers - Are we sure they aren't leasing these machines, and they are just replacing old with new? They certainly aren't increasing the number of groomers they have.

$1M+ Summer and Bike park improvements. First of all, these are SUMMER improvements. They must be building the most expensive bike trails in the world up there.

Also, if you add up the numbers they provide, I get about $4.5M..........so there's $1.2M of EVEN LESS NOTEWORTHY improvements....?

I see the only significant upgrade being the snowmaking and South Ridge lift. The rest is just needed for maintenance and doesn't really impact the skiing except for a lower number of lift failures and summer improvements. They are trying to greatly expand the bike park sort of as insurance against a bad winter.

I think Killington needs to be investing way more in lifts. The Ramshead lift needs to be 6-pack, there needs to be a high speed lift on Snowdon, they need a lift newer than 1972 to serve all early season skiing, and both gondolas need mid life overhauls so that they can actually run reliably.

Could be wrong but I don't think it was ever intended to be "successful" in that it made money.
