What's the penalty for being some a-hole yuppie from Long Island who had 5 beers for lunch (at one of your fine mountainside dining establishments, of course), and proceeds to click into his way too big GS skis and mows down a few young children somewhere. All in bounds, of course.

He has to go to the Highway Star ski school cause he obviously doesn't know how to make mandatory GS turns at high speed

I guess Mr. Marketing is off for the day. Enjoying Rutland's vibrant nightlife.

I think the skiers responsibility code makes the rules regarding the latter (or encounters of any sort) quite clear:
* Always stay in control, and be able to stop...
* Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
* Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep out of closed areas.
* You must have the knowledge and ability to ride and unload safely

Spinmaster, Can you clarify? Is it 1 strike or 3?

LOL!

I think it's 2 strikes. Who said 1 or 3? It's always been 2, not 1 and not 3.

I think the problem is that unless you get three the term strike is a misnomer. If you only get one, then it really is just an "out". If we're talking about 2 then I'm gonna have to suggest using the soccer system of yellow and red cards where two yellows become a red card and you're ejected.

We will be discussing and finalizing the price tomorrow morning. The renewal letters are teed up and ready to be sent out this week. There is no desire to expand paid parking or reduce free parking.

We are working to finalize ski and snowboard school seasonal programs and pricing. I, too, would like to get these out ASAP. I will get an update tomorrow.

Any update on this issue as today is the Pass Cutoff point?

Good point. Very good point, but what if the third strike is a passed ball? Can you ski to first base and beat the throw from the K employee?

Quite the conundrum I believe.

Just like the dependent pass issue.

simmer down everyone, I'm sure Tom's not going to come in to a public forum where everyone knows his identity and position and tell us all that we can duck any rope we want and ski any trail we want regardless of its status. That'd be moronic for him to espouse something like that.

Didn't he do that on Tue, Feb 06, 2007?

Yes, we will be looking for poachers on Ovation, Devil's Fiddle and other areas that are closed. So consider this a friendly reminder of the closed trail policy!

Seems like a clear change in policy to me.

Say what? In my 25+ years at Killington, they've always pulled passes for a few weeks if you got bagged skiing closed trails. If you suck or mouth off, it's gone on the spot. If you're a familiar face, are skiing well, and are polite to the sled dog while they deliver the lecture, in my experience they always let you go.
