Re: Opening Day?

Hmm, it is a bit odd.. as far as I have seen, seems VT is all quiet on the snowmaking front. But NH and ME are very active. I mean even state run Cannon was making in earnest last night. Is the current pattern that much different in these 2 states or is there something else in play (IE power rates ...

Re: Opening Day?

They have started it so I would bet they do, even if it is just on Locke this go around. I know they have race camps booked in November for Locke and it isn't just local Gould booking slots. So they will at the least push there especially if they have deposit $$ already in hand. lane fees are negli...

Re: Opening Day?

Was busy for NH or ME early season, maybe empty by VT standards?

Re: Expansion

Probably one of the few people that has skied both killington and sunday river in the last three days. If you want to ski 150 days a year, Killington is your only option in the east. If you want modern lifts and the best surfaces in the east sunday river is your only option. The product that sunday ...

Re: Superstar 2023

Vermont did around 4.1M skier visits last year. NH and ME combined for around 3.6M. Excluding the random Ikon day, Killington is getting a miniscule percentage of the new england skier market. As a boyne passholder and K spring passholder, Killington feels positively rundown. The peak lodge is nice ...
