500,000 skier days this past season

[skiingsnow]

So how does that make half of Killingtons season taken away, being CLOSED midweek?

Does it occur to you that there are others besides weekend skiiers.

It sure does! Explain that to nopowdr. He says Killington was closed midweek this past season, in addition to "1/4 of April, May, and June" to bring Killingtons season all the way to half of what it was.

Hmmm.

Because nobody skis in the spring, Powdr wisely shuts down April 20 to save money they later reinvest in the mountain.

Now, since we agree nobody skis Killington on non-holiday mid-weeks, shouldn’t Powdr shut down Tuesdays and Wednesdays to save additional money that could be used for reinvestment? It’s a business afterall, and the most important thing to customers (especially pass holders) is for Powdr to make a profit.

Weekdays provide a high quality ski experience resort wide! Over 3,000' vertical for your pleasure! 6 Interconnected mountains all lift serviced with wall to wall quality terrain! The most important thing is to provide a high quality experience, while still turning healthy profits TO PUT BACK INTO THE RESORTS!!

Try as you may, Chris Nyberg will never adopt you.

Sorry... I've simply had about as much SkippySnow as I can take today.

Now back to your regularly-scheduled slipstream of SkippySnow dreck.

I skied at Killington before you were born, you little twit -- whether you're 16, 19, or whatever age you're claiming to be today.

Avoid your posts? Given the fact that you happily jump in to defend Chris "Will You Be My New Daddy?" Nyberg and the rest of the Powdr Gang That Can't Shoot Straight at every last possible opportunity, avoiding your posts is a near-impossibility!

My Dad used to have a Springer Spaniel. It was fun to throw the ball for him (for a little while), and he never grew tired of retrieving it and placing it at your feet. We'd throw it in the pond usually, and he'd swim out leaving a wake in his eagerness. If you didn't throw it, he'd dance around, yip at you, and implore you to throw it again. He was sopping wet, and it could be annoying to have a sopping wet dog bugging you all the time. This would go on and on.

You would grow tired of it, but skippy, I mean the dog, never would.

One day I kept throwing the ball for a very long time figuring I'd wear him out. Over and over he ran and chased, ran and chased. After a very long time of this, I came to decide I was just getting him in better shape and better trained to think we would throw balls for him whenever he wanted. I gave up on wearing him out.

I still threw balls for him once in a while. I just decided that chasing balls was his whole focus, and he would never tire of it.

Consequently there were many days when no one would throw the ball any more for him, and since he couldn't adapt to the necesary social behavior when ball throwing time was over, he ended up in the kennel frequently.

Perhaps someone could throw skippy's ball into traffic...or off a cliff.

I skied at Killington before you were born, you little twit --

I've come to believe that the best part of Skippysnow ran down his father's leg almost 20 years ago.

Wow, the voice of reason has been broken. Impressive....

You mean weekdays WILL provide a high quality ski experience yadda yadda yadda...

They sure didn't this year, unless you had your skins or it was a holiday. I love how you say they're expanding/adding to the services offered - yeah, but only from the ridiculously low baseline that they themselves created. Was it really too much to come in and run the place for a year to get to know it before making such drastic changes? Biggest bunch of clueless slapdicks I've ever seen.

Just to set the record straight, the "high quality ski experience" quote above was from skiingsnow, not coydog.

...and Killington doesn't have 3000 vertical feet. That went away when they closed Northeast Passage.

No, Weekdays HAVE provided a high quality ski experience, and WILL continue in the future. Killington is and has been open 7 days a week.
