And Mike could and apparently does easily care more about the safety of his staff at the mountain and giving a little extra time for things to warm up than appeasing a few whiners like yourself.

Mike, please post powder day pics on the website. Kzone has not been delivering the goods...

What is odd is opening at 8am . . . Why did they ever start that sh*t.
I am with you, but I like it. Gets the early birds off the hill earlier making it less crowded for the Hatter / Hafski shift.

Buddy of mine who went to KMS told me it happened once while he was there - he’s 35ish, so around Y2K I’d guess.

So not unprecedented, but pretty damn rare.

I remember a midweek January day maybe 10 to 15 years ago when they closed after an hour or two of operation. Part of the metal roof on the KBL was ripped off. Went to Pico to finish the ski day.

I'm fine with them closing K. They have Pico open, so no problem; as long as they have at least one option, even if it's just one lift-good for them.
