Totally dropped the ball on snowmaking. Didn't finish the top of UEF, only a few guns on Lower Bunny, nothing on Great Northern or anything else, didn't move the guns that were on Rime overnight. Really disappointing.

They keep them until mid February.

You should offer a ✋ to help, you got it all figured out.

25 degrees, sunny and still b*tching. Only on Kzone. The skiing is great today.

Same sh*t every season. Wouldn't be right if there was no whining on KZone this time of year! :D

You guys act like you never been on the internet before. Newsflash, people bitch on the internet. It isn't just kzone. There is just as much bitching about the bitching as there is bitching.

The fact that it's their 3rd weekend open and they have the same terrain as their 3rd day open, despite many promises that they would expand, has really caused my patience to wear out. I'm honestly surprised they even passed snow control given how many hours they've spent on Superstar since. Good to know that they keep the additional compressors until February. They're gonna have A LOT of catching up to do.

You should get out there and move snowguns and help. Oh wait, your to busy comparing about skiing. News flash asshat, understaffed, crap temps and a World Cup race factor into you not have 65 trails open for Thanksgiving to keep your Karen self happy.

I hope some Snowmaker working double shifts pisses in your ski boot.

good to see lower bunny lit. making hay while they can. could be a snowmaking interruption tomorrow into monday evening. i'm sure they'd like to offer t-t-b on tgiving but might be tough. probably friday if the weather cooperates, even if it's just the K1. the good news is we get the supe pod the weekend after WC.

I didn't say 65 trails you idiot. I said 2 trails for their 3rd weekend open. That's not a lot to ask for.

They are also limiting access to Pass Holders and Ticket pack holders, no walk up sales to limit crowds.

Hats off to killington. They absolutely crushed it this year giving the sh*t ass weather they had to work with. Absolutely no other north east resort could have accomplished what they did. Looking forward to shred skye peak the weekend after thanksgiving.

Wed is indeed the goal for T2B if they can. Superstar snowmaking is winding down. Also hearing that Launchpad might be peaced together earlier than usual to get people a route to the Superstar pod post WC. They ran a shitload of hose from the Nivi's corner up the trail as it does not have pipes. They'll have to do the same from the top. Seems like only an off chance to me.
