Funny video but a bad comparison. I'll take the longest season and top notch snowmaking any day. Sure a couple lifts suck, but you are usually rewarded with less traffic and better snow when you bite the bullet and ride them.
I get all the news I need from the weather report

Nice to see that it's not even November and POWDR is already pissing away your season's pass payments.

HS is not too far off the mark on some of harsh criticism of current landlords but who cares. I still love Killington for all it’s two thousand acres of Vermont awesomeness. Very happy fan here as always.

Re: What it's like to be a Killington customer....
I have no horse in the game until February, but how can you honestly say they are pissing away money. Their MO is early and late season. Why wouldn't they start making snow in a cold snap on Oct 31? If this same weather had happened on Oct 15 they would've done the same thing.Highway Star wrote:Nice to see that it's not even November and POWDR is already pissing away your season's pass payments.

Oh 'lil Jimmy, they're a difference between opening early with a realistic strategy, and pissing away money making snow VERY expensively that's just going to melt before anyone can ski on it.jimmywilson69 wrote:I have no horse in the game until February, but how can you honestly say they are pissing away money.

Highway Star, if you'd prefer that Killington opened November 24th like other mountains rather than trying to open as early as possible, then please go to one of those other mountains.

Re: What it's like to be a Killington customer....
I want Killington to open as early as they can, when they get DECENT snowmaking conditions that let them make remotely cost effective snow in 12-18 hours to get open. That is not a waste of money.snoloco wrote:Highway Star, if you'd prefer that Killington opened November 24th like other mountains rather than trying to open as early as possible, then please go to one of those other mountains.

Highway Star seems to have shareholder confused with customer.
