And, the snowmaking plan ?
Goes to show, you don't never know
Watch each card you play, and play it slow
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down

Looks like its going down no matter what I do !!!

However, I’m sure it is high on the list for those whom the World Cup is paramount. I’d love to believe that it is being deferred in favor of more critical infrastructure issues, but that would go against experience.
None of us work in Killington's lift maintance department, so there may be issues with this lift we are unawhare of. It is a cobbled together frankin lift with lots of hours on it. Perhaps the insurance company is requireing a replacement soon.
I was VERY surprised to hear the SS lift is being considered for replacement or overhaul. Totally agree that we could be totally unaware of the condition of the lift, but in all my years, it seems like the most reliable, hardly ever breaks down.

Mike S thanks for the snow making update!


The weather Gods control the snow making!
I take whatever snow I can get -and appreciate it.

Snow making operations you do a great job!
The merry snow makers I see them and I thank them

Greg Hiltz retired after 46 years in 7/23. He made the snow in the beginning and moderated snowmaking and equipment. The technology has changed for the better.
Thank you.
Silly me would like k to have year round skiing.
Why because I love the winter outdoors.
Greg Gleason is trying! I know his dad Mark!!

Mike Solimano you and your staff are awesome you get it.
I have worked every World Cup since 2016. I am proud that Killington is my home mountain and I can’t get enough. ( I work a full time job m-f at a middle school 6,7,8 and drive up every weekend to see the 39 years partner. He retired in k in 10/94. See you soon
