I'm pretty sure that's the guy (or his brother) that lost his pass at K on opening day for going like 50 mph and posting his run on FB. Will he be dumb enough to do it again?

The crossover has been an issue since the Alerra T-Bar went in for racing. But it was manageable and ops personnel were filling it in manually.

looks pretty good. guessing it held up. looks rather empty. rime on the other hand woulda been mobbed.
however appears to be a one day thing. they have a window saturday nite but doubt they go for a reopening and questionable whether they fire them up at all w 50's arriving tues-wed. perhaps we finally get a window the following weekend.

Was busy for NH or ME early season, maybe empty by VT standards?
Everyone on the payroll i talked to said 'see you in two weeks'.

The only reason I spend on a K pass is for early and late season. SR won. Ward Hill won. Shame. Shame. Shame. Killington is a pile of yellow snow. Oh wait. They didn't even make snow yet. As a pass holder. Let me water the grass and take the fire danger down. Pi$$ poor on Killington.

It's pass holders only at SR today, so does that really even count as it's not open to the general public?
Are Ikon folks considered passholders? Open to Ikon is pretty much open to the general public in my book.
New England pass, Ikon pass, and Mountain Collective passholders were allowed.

The obvious level of not understanding weather and financials is so strong by those whining about this.
The window was not long enough to get open and they don't want to open then close. Mission statement is pretty clear.
feel free to vote with your wallet
or steal one of those weather controlling machines and bring it to the Killington
