- Eliminate snowboarders from double-black runs and glades. (Sorry boarders but it ruins the cover on those type of fragile trails. Black Diamond and lower is fine. We all know the limited thin cover.)
- Move the Killington Gondola and extend the cables for to be used for a KILLINGTON-PICO CONNECT !!!!!!

Sadly, the only way you're going to get most of this is with an actual genie in a lamp grantin you wishes.

Extending the Skyeship to the peak is going to run into major issues with where you locate the top terminal. You're more likely to have a shot at running a new south ridge lift up there on a new liftline, with a small footprint top terminal (bottom drive).

They are not going to relocate the K-1. Maybe in 20 years they'll replace it with a 6-person chairlift.

No chance on the snowboarders. Low ability skiers on short fat skis do just as much damage.

The pico interconnect is permitted and can be executed with one Pico side lift that is already permitted. Cost is $5M including the lift, trail cutting and snowmaking.

There are many other more realistic tweaks that can be made to Killington's lift and trail system to make it ski better.
