The Poma . . .

[SkiDork]

musta been herbs riding it...

Wish I had gotten the womans name that was operating it one day last week.
She really knew how to run that lift, rare that happens.
Most of the lifties on the Poma are ok, but far to often you get one that has no clue.
OTOH, getting 10 feet of air loading is amusing from time to time.

Cycle for what, a 30 second run down Upper Bunny or MTS?

. . is going to suck until a new terrain park opens... Between the gate crashers and the jibbers, the line is ridiculous.... Almost not worth the trouble..

yes, I was amazed. The longest line I waited on all weekend was for the poma.

Dr.No said the same thing about the line and it causing problems once the racing season starts if the terrain park is still placed there.

what problems could it cause? if thats the designated racing trail, the racers will have to wait...

park folks dont really care...

uh . . . . how about for "regular skiers" who want to cycle the Poma....? and don't say just take the Slowden Quad...

By all means continue to wait in the poma line, the rest of us "non-regulars" will shred the gnar elsewhere. As others have commented waiting in the Poma line is retarded for the amount of terrain you can lap off of it. The reason putting the jib kids and the racers in one spot works BEAUTIFULLY is both groups get a disproportionate share of early season resources from a terrain standpoint and during the early season they're an annoyance to everyone else on the hill who isn't a rat or a stick chaser. I'm making a sweeping generalization here, but they both can be selfish groups that think they own the mountain and this is a good way to make them share.

Whoever decided to move the park and race training to the Poma gets a medal IMHO. I'd much rather cycle the Glades triple with Reason and East Fall open then ride the Poma

the poma was great for the crew of kids I was with who just wanted to lap the park.

ski, today was good stuff. you should venture away from that poma, and check out that chair on superstar...

I do laps on the poma every day for the park. Line is not bad. The gate chasers look at me like a moron in my get-up, but who doesn't...if you dont like the wait they go to the quad or tripple and that will solve your problem real quick.

STOP COMPLAINING!!!!!! why cant you people go ski and not complain, holy f***!

were they laughing at your tall tee?

it is fun to complain, if you havent noticed, because everyone is entitled to more than they are being given. that park up there is pretty sweet though...

No worries . . . . ripped the whole mountain today, including multiple runs on the SS quad . .

It is a great park, and more importantly, it is being used - can't get in there to do the "park cordouroy" . . . even midweek . . .

[ishredthegnar]

I just love the lift...... wait for me is no problem. its fun and kicks me back to my roots of the tbar type lifts. basicly its fun for me on my board so i love it.

I agree with laser if I was skiing I like the fact that the park rats and stick chaser had to share. Nice move powder.

I also have no interest in cycling on bunny train. it early season but so what, I can find better train then bunny buster. One of the whole points to skiing killington is if one life has a long line move to the next. why wait.
A surface poma is the slowest type lift. Killington just seems that way because it's only 200' feet of vertical

Quit bitching about one lift, unless your a park rat or stick chaser.

See you all at New Years.

That Poma lift certainly gets up and moves. Fster than a fixed grip chairlift for sure

Agreed . . all you have to do is watch it while you're riding the triple... the thing is fast ...
