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.

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

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.

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.

Dude you should see a therapist. Seriously...

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.

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.

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.

Highway Star seems to have shareholder confused with customer.
