We should retire KZone now since there's no more whining about K. All is well now? Mission accomplished!?


Haa! Haa! Yeah, right! :lol:
Let the next phase of whining commence!

At least POWDR listens. I keep bitching to Mother Nature about this weather and it's like talking to a brick wall...

Given Killington's tight cost controls, I find it hard to believe that they are going to fix food quality any time soon. You need competent staff and you have to give up some of your gross profit margin to use better quality ingredients.

LOL...constructively, however, not the way people here often go after them and each other.

As for the "we told you so", I think it's obvious that a lot of what was said here over the past several years was correct and, while it was too often said in a distasteful, too overly personalized way, the gist of the criticism was justified. Just sayin' people here should, now that they seem to have acknowledged their mistakes and turned in the right direction, lay off the attack mode and move on to a more positive style of communicating their suggestions and complaints.

Good cafeteria food is pretty much an oxymoron. With the 15% passholder discount, KBL is almost reasonably priced. What I find ironic is that they've significantly upped the quality at the Wobbly, and what happens? People are "commenting" on the higher prices. Wouldn't mind the Deer Valet/Stein Eriksen lunch option, however. You need fat skis after eating there. Even on groomers.

OK, I'll start . . . I do have an observation re: the new "white" signs along the access road pointing out the different lodges - the descriptions are difficult to read - you can hardly read them until you are practically on top of them . . . for a regular, not a problem . . . but, for those "once in a while" visitors looking for where they are supposed to go - well, I see a lot of slowing down to read the signs. Not a complaint - just an observation :seeya
