In honor of March Madness, Dwight and I put together a Killington Tournament of 64 using the favorite slopes and K and Pico. As you guys on KZone are the most diehard Killington people out there, thought you'd like to know, and would like to vote on which trail is the Champion of all Killington trails. The first round of voting just went live.

Thanks, have fun. I'm predicting victory for #1 seed Devil's Fiddle over #1 seed Outer Limits, though some are predicting an upset by #3 seed Cruise Control.

If this is all these two clowns have to do with their time while working for ASC and aren't concentrating 110% on how to increase the bottom line, I don't know why ASC would keep them around. If they would just layoff the marketers every February and keep the snowmakers, they probably wouldn't need the marketers in the first place.

And these people are hardly management. I say flame away.

True, there is a lot of noise here that they don't care about - but that's not unique to this board. Ever work at a cust service job and be subjected to somebody's life story on a daily basis?

But if you sift through the noise, you'll find opinions and feedback about the mountain by a wide variety of mostly-affluent people. Some of us are goofy, some of us are creepy, and some of us are plain assholes (I'm all three), but the rest of us actually represent a significant cross section of their regular users - and they know we're significant. We bring friends, buy beer, attend events, and spend money in village establishments besides the mountain, who at the very least influence local government policy, etc (I could go on)

And what you're saying is that the brass at kmart doesn't even read this board from time to time?

Flaming, I don't think so, just healty conversation. Now, you bring up a good point, I wonder how much more snowmaking we could get with these guys salaries.

Maybe, we they can take the money and buy everyone one of these suits, it probably save time and Patroller resources if they didn't have to sled everyone down the hill who falls over when the wind blows.

A lot of the hits this site shows might be b/c people have this set as a home site on their browser so everytime they launch a browser this shows up. Also that they keep it open on the desktop. Who knows...

You peaked my curiosity so I did a members list sort by total posts, there are 147 members with 50 or more posts, we have more members posting than ImNotDoingThisAnyMOreAndyZone.Com had total members.

Not sensitive at all, just wondering. It seems everytime I have a conversation with you, either in person or on this site, you have to throw in a jab about Andyzone. Does that silly lil site really bother you that much? For all intent and purpose, the forum part has been off line for awhile now, yet you can't seem to stop thinking about it? What's up with that shortski? Do you miss it?

This is so beautifull....expressing you feelings to dawnie, tell him how you really feel...Tell him about the pain of failure.


The sleepless nights.....waiting, waiting for someone to log on, waiting for someone to make a post.....waiting for someone to join, waiting for someone to ban........waiting........waiting..........waiting...

Its always darkest just before it goes to pitch black.

It's not a jab, I never felt it would take off and I told you so from the start, you didn't have a "hook", that being said it's fun to see you get all riled up and if you didn't start by jumping on the Marketing guys I probably would'nt have been egging you on....NOT...you know I love getting a response from people, you only took the hook and line you never went totally off and swallowed the sinker, but I was going easy on you.

Sorry, don't buy it. You've been giving me jabs about this for awhile and I've been a good sport about it, actually, you can continue doing so, doesn't really bother me. I'm just curious as to why that site of mine has gotten so deep under your skin.
