I am a horrible communicator, I am sympathetic to those who lost their jobs, and to anyone who could lose their business.

And the "me, me, me" thing, is for everyone that skis Killington, which I am one of those people.

Again, poor wording, but you guys should be used to that by now.

Just out of curiosity, how big of a radius away from Killington Base do you have to go to find the 100th of the 100+ bars / resturaunts?

Oh and regardless of the fact that KMart may have been using the "King of Spring" slogan as a marketing phrase.... they are clearly no longer the true "King of Spring" even if they continue to use that as a marketing phrase.

Thats just a K line, "Over 100 bars, blah..." I dont know if its just the access road, or all of Killington...

My guess is that would include Rutland... and if thats the case it's lame marketing on the part of Killington.

No way there are 100 bars on the access road.

Bars and restaurants... vt dept health has 52 restaurants in Killington... Then add in your bars, and its probably over a 100 like they say...

And I dont even actually see them advertise this anymore... I know they stopped advertising, "Most open terrain in the east" which is the case 95% of the time they are open.

But most of the resturaunts are a bar also... not 52 bars operating independent without a resturaunt.

Would be quite the challange...to list what 100 bars / restuaunts they were talking about.

I haven't seen Powdr having this anywhere, but before this season, its what they used to say...

They talk about places to eat, but not about being over 100...
