Don't want this discussion to get buried by other news . . .

Hopefully the horrible berming (horrible for skiers) does not continue this summer. At least look at it from a snowsports view and don't go willy-nilly digging ditches and back-filling with broken granite. And for God's sake, don't go near the sacred terrain to the north !

pretty sure that area is next on the list for expansion....that said it would be nice to see some skier friendly action taken to create flow both on dirt and on snow...

Weird I meant to say this on the BMMC report thread but I skied Pipe Dream last Saturday (it was awesome, 2nd trax) but as I was coming down Falls Brook Trail I was a guy on a fat bike riding up the mountain. Does Killington allow people to ride on their trails during winter operations? I'd assume not.
