At this point, it's about the business being profitable enough to be able to invest more money in the resort. The PCMR debacle certainly put a damper on that. This horrific year with warm temps and no snow is another nail in the coffin.

Top 9 Bad Decisions at Killington:

9. $10 mediocre glasses of wine at the Outback--I love their sliders, though
8. When Santa Fe tried making the upstairs a private club
7. The Vista Bar--that just when it's warm enough to sit outside and have a drink, Killington closes Needle's Eye
6. The original yurt location
5. Calling the Grand Hotel ski-in/ski-out
4. Not replacing the South Ridge chair with anything
3. Not making the Peak Lodge big enough
2. Building the second bar at the K-1 over my Spring Viewing Deck--I was not unhappy to see it float down the river
1. Motor Bar

What have I missed?

My top 5 Great Ideas to Make Killington Better:

5. High speed quad at Snowdon
4. Another lunch yurt
3. More Joey Leone
2. Free admission to wine festival for passholders
1. Free wine for passholders

how 'bout "lifetime" passes

Sore subject for many of us and also for POWDR who would rather this topic died.

As for HSQ on Snowdon, too many times that chair runs while the rest of the mountain is closed or on delay. Instead of HSQ, How about a fixed grip higher speed quad, like Sugarloaf, that can run fast but still run in adverse weather. Same with many other chairs.

The single chair at MRG has the same line speed as these carpet loading lifts (550-600ft per minute). Also runs in all weather. I vote for a single chair....

But Mt. Bachelor is having a good year - 350+ inches so far and and a 134" base depth (!). Maybe some of their money will come east.

"lifetime" passes to a Killington drinking establishment. The ventings of a drunken dopey broad who decided to think twice about what she posted and then deleted it.

How many bar/drinking references were there?

You've got the Triple for that (with the million dollar mid-dump), and Glades to get you up top.

I'm going to make it a point to use the term Dopey Broad in a conversation tonight. that one just doesnt get used often enough these days.

NO where NEAR a Million Dollars and KMS paid a big portio of it. Working several events on Highline it is an excellent addtion. Problem with your logic is, the quad is nowhere near Highline. The quad offers more terraine than the triple. The triple doens't run every day. The quad is set up to run every day if conditions permit. The triple, not so much.
