No more Fridays in may

Heard the rumors and called Killington guest services. They confirmed that May 3rd will be the last Friday of the season. Only sat/sun from then except for memorial Monday. Wow!

I wonder if they are telling everybody buying a spring pass this? Maybe if they get enough negative feedback on this they will reverse it.

It is seriously f*** up.

As I said in the other thread, even the Killington apologists amongst us will have a hard time defending this.

And they aren't. They are just saying something to the effect of "why are you spouting rumors you haven't confirmed". Well we have confirmation now.

We do indeed. And apparently this is the way K management wants the public to find out about a MAJOR change from traditional operational scheduling. KZone and social media.

Count me on board the Snoloco train. You were right all along about this place.

If there is a huge blow up, and If they do reverse the decision, it will go something like this:

Fridays will miraculously appear on the website. (Kind of like new ropes and signage)

Mike will come on here and condescendingly tell us there was never a plan to close Fridays.

They will throw a guest services agent under the bus.

A reversal would be reminiscent of the end of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; something that looked good on paper but forgetting all about the people it affects.

I guess that is why they are offering the midweek passholders a $199 spring pass.

That offering is not new.

If the weather doesn’t change then it’s not going to matter.

Simultaneously true and beside the point.

So now Fridays lift tickets are back up for purchase in May. Interesting. That was a fast change since around noon they were not and guest services confirmed it.
