Killington ski conditions page redesign poor
FYI whoever is writing the daily ski reports forgot to update them yesterday afternoon. Also for today yesterday's report 4/14 was still on there.
I do not like the new format as I can't tell what trails have been groomed and what lifts are open. Also please put the snowboard features at the bottom.
Bring back the old format.

Whoever is responsible for writing the daily reports posted March 16, 2018 as today’s date.
It is in red.

"Twirling logos, bold animated graphics, jumpy scrolling, hidden scrollbars and two column layouts are tolerable while at the fast office computer but these 'features' just don't load on handheld mobile devices while out and about."
Exactly. Even on laptop with my condo's slow Wi-Fi, pages are slow to load.

Like high speed bubble chairs that force users to stand around in long liftlines with horrible corral management.

POWDR is horribly impractical.

Re: Killington ski conditions page redesign poor
Agree 100% . . .. The conditions page is TERRIBLE!
First of all the whole thing takes too long to load. Once it finally does, you have to scroll down a half a page, past menus, past a picture of snowmakers and then past a BMW advertisement, to get to any meaningful info. The squares with the snowfall #'s are waaay to big, causing you to have to keep scrolling to get to the actual report. Whew ! That was tiring . . Now the actual report leaves a lot to be desired as well . . . Most days it seems to be written by someone who has a lifetime total of 3 days on the mountain at Killington . . . No worries, at least we know Blue Heaven will have some sweet cord tomorrow . . .
Don't even get me started about the Lifts and Trails Report . .

Re: Killington ski conditions page redesign poor
Thanks for the info on scrolling down and being patient. It would be much faster if the computer guru would collapse the information until you actually want to see it. We know Bear, Skye Peak Ramshead, Snowshed are closed so why do we have to scroll through it all to get the actual lift and trail reports that are active? Maybe it will be better by next October.ski wrote:Agree 100% . . .. The conditions page is TERRIBLE!

The bottle rocket site is a dud.
