Jeff stated that they pay summer rates in March, which I would think would be high, but not stupid high like during periods this winter.
The crazy energy prices we saw early in March are gone. Spot market power price has dropped down $0 per MWH for many hours of the overnight periods since.

Sorry to throw spot market grid power price into the discussion as I'm not exactly sure how the Killington power is market priced. The power grid is run with enough generation to support the load and maintain 60Hz. The real time price on light load overnight periods drops to zero when more generators want to on line than there is load to support. On the other hand the power marketing side of the industry is a mystery to me,

Yes! And I guarantee that it will last past May 4.

Are they allowed to just change prices whenever they want?

At home they can't do that but I know Vermont has it's own rules.

Don't confuse unregulated wholesale pricing with regulated retail rates.

So how does K buy?

Didn't we just have this conversation?

Yes we did. See my post on page 2 of this thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38560&start=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Always beer in the forecast, no matter what the amounts of precipitation or sunshine.

no criticism of this season but after today, pretty good cold snap setting up the next 4 days with temps barely cracking 20's on the hill. in the olden daze (pres), they would have taken the opp for one last blow on supe to top off the glacier if needed.

Mother nature has been helping lately with cold temps and some of her own snowflakes.
Snow guns and hydrants/hoses now pretty much buried. We won't discuss what happens after the Wed event...Skibumett1 may get her wish.

Balls will be shown when you close Bear. If you close it with complete coverage, that is a mistake in my opinion. Superstar coverage is a gamble that is hard to make on Spring Temps. Coverage is fair to last into May.

I guess it takes someone who is a BS God to know one who is not a God.

But who called him a God? We have just been longing competent management after the Nordberg debacle. Very happy with the response of the management on a number of issues. Recently had lengthy conversation with Mike and I would put him up there with any corporate leader I've dealt with who juggles a number of issues including dealing with irrational folks on a message board and facebook from time to time. Unfortunately, the real work is not a case study like the classroom is. It throws real curveballs at you and he's done a pretty good job dealing with them.

You blow SS until it really has 20' depths. Not this bull sh*t lie of 20' depths when everyone knows that middle superstar is thin if the goal is June, as MS told everyone it was. I don't care about nyberg and powdr. If you talk the talk - as MS has done - you've got to walk the walk, he's walked the walk, until February 2014. He's messed up big time with snowmaking late season. And we've got to call him out. As we always do. No one gets a pass on Kzone. Not even God.
