“Howdy, Beast Fans” is a rodeo clown’s introduction to Killington.

No, if anything it would be “Beast’s Fans”, but that’s not right either.

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
I suspect it is just a temporary hiatus to lull us into complacency. Sad, since at least for the moment we'll have nothing to complain about. Killington has achieved heretofore unimaginable perfection.
Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
Howdy, I'm new to this forum. Are people like ANGUS being sarcastic or is he a complete whiney little bitch?

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
It’s been a running joke for well over a year. I’m waiting for “Bon jour beast fans”, thus upping the cultural level of the customer base.

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
It really irritates some of the folks here... I just ignore it, its really easy to do. in fact the snow report has become fairly useless (at least K still does one) I rarely read it at all even when skiing there.

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
From what I hear they read this forum and a lot of is done on purpose lol. Last year when the "Howdy Beast Fans" outpouring was greatest it got switched up nearly that day to something witty that only loyal Beast fans would get.

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
The people who ski Killington regularly are not the snow report’s target audience. Anyone who reads it regularly finds it duller than dirt. To be fair, there’s a finite number of ways you can say “The lifts start turning/spinning/rotating/revolving/gyrating/pirouetting at 9AM”, but they don’t even try. If you must go that route, buy a copy of Roget’s. However, the whole happy talk genre is a bit nauseating anyway. It would be better executed as a table of information, so there’d be less focus on finding the perfect simile for frozen granular, and more on whether the data is complete and accurate.
Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
I think they should go with "Hi-diddly-ho Beast neighborinos!"
Maybe AI could write more interesting snow reports?

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
And here I thought "frozen granular" was a simile.
