need we also point out that Mt Snow is a WEE bit lower and further south then the Mighty K?

the fact that they can spin lifts after K says volumes about their people being committed to the actual acts of SKIING and CUSTOMER SERVICE
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

Let me tell you something, BROTHER! You'd be stupid not to point out that MT. Sneax is a WEE bit lower and further south then the Mighty K! How was the rest of your season at Magic? Did you run into Steve at all, BROTHER?

Heres a picture for you Laseraminal!

I would like to buy an "A"!

Sad but true, Mt. Snow of all places will be open longer this year than Killington. If they or the Bush or anyone else is open in May I will be making a pilgrimage until I have to hike. Much too early to put the skis away.

Thanks POWDR for a SHORT season.

I never heard May come out of their mouths, but they talked a huge game, and now they act like they are heros for staying open till 4/27, only 1 week longer then K... And thats not even full operations, only open Mon, Fri, Sat, Sun.
Never once heard May mentioned. They said as long as the snow and skiers lasted, whichever ended first. Obviously skier visits have declined.

Stupidsnow. Stop being a goober. Why shouldn't they talk a good game? They opened before your heroes and they are closing after them. That is UNHEARD of. Oh I forgot, you are only 4 years old you have no recollection of the past of either mountain. Get a grip and face reality.

Don't forget that Mount Snow is also doing the longer season thing with 110" or so LESS natural snow than K and maybe 1/2 the snowmaking water. Just wait a couple of seasons until Mount Snow gets their new snowmaking reservoir giving them basically twice as much water as they have now, and likely by then heading on atleast 250 to 300 fan guns :wink:

Send 'em your marketing plan for next year, Maverick. Maybe they'll learn to play the small-ball game as well as you do.

So will you be trying to stay on that Killington town committee past the first year, or was that created in consideration of the fact that your chances of still being employed by Powdr in November of 2008 are about the same as my chances of being named President of the Worldwide Powdr Fan Club?

Go polish your golf clubs. Mount Sneaux still beat you to the punch this year.

Also the MS mt manager used to be the lift ops manager here at K for many years so he knows how to do a long season.

They'd probably stay open later if someone actually showed up. I've been there quite a bit during the week. Last week it was a bluebird day and the place had less then 50 people on the hill. There was edge to edge coverage the North Face was golden. There was still snow in the trees. Ripcord was fantastic and it was empty. It was a crime. They are living up to their part they said they would stay open if someone came. The sad part is no one is coming.
