I guess you guys complaining of no mission mentioned by Powdr, overlooked this...
“Moving forward our mission is to exceed customer expectations, be innovative, profitable and environmentally responsible.”

I was just mentioning a statement I stumbled upon.
I by no means approve this message. . .

So just relax, I am pointing out somewhere where they said, "our mission is" Thats all. Some asked that they do this, and here it was.

Actually, it's not the "mission" anyone's been asking about; it's the "vision".

Are there customers out there who's expectations have been exceeded? Coming in with low expectations doesn't count.

It must be a real hoot on the factory floor in Bridgewater.
I get this Laverne & Shirley Shotz Brewery image.

To be fair, POWDR did manage to detoxify weekend skiing. That's a big improvement over the mayhem caused by the ASC $350 bronze passes.
My only real gripe with the new owners is their shortened season. It dramatically lowers the value of locating at Killington if they open when everybody else does and close when everybody else does. As you go north in Vermont, the natural snow surface gets much better. A significant slice of Killington's natural market (advanced skiers & snowboards) have to be considering changing mountains.
The other stuff like destroying BMMC by holding it in March and lying to us that the liquor commission told them to forbid BYOB is annoying but it won't chase me away.

Jeeez, cant I get anything right? You are right Bubba, people were questioning the vision, not the mission!!

"our mission is to exceed customer expectations"?
O M G Killington is going to be open 4 year round skiing/riding???
Damn I was just looking for an early June closing...but Year round skiing/riding is waaaaaaaaay above the call of duty by making that claim!
Now I LOVE POWDR! how bout the rest of my fellow skiers and riders?
Happy now?

I was completely unaware of what cutting edge did, until 3 weeks ago, when I got a job there! Its a huge company!!! We just shipped out an order March 30, bringing in over $400,000 !!!! Its really amazing to see everything in action. They operate 24 hours a day, its a big time, real deal factory.
Infact, its "The Most Advanced Bur Manufacturer In The World!"
