You're kidding me right? You've been taking this authoritarian stance, and talking all of this trash based on a last skier visit of 1997?

You'd clean up I'm sure. After going to the doctor and getting some penicillin.

Come on Marc. Hook them up from your personal stash of penicillin.

Killington, Mad River Valley areas, and Stowe get more snow than Whiteface as well, so I'm not sure your statement is quite accurate. I guess I'd have to do a more careful survey though.

To far behind the time? What I and many people love about it is the fact that they don't make much snow, don't groom the expert trails, and have low enough lift capacity to keep the trails uncrowded. Do you dislike any of that? Even if you do, and you are entitled to your opinion of course, I don't think your position about how your top five is so obviously right is fair. I would bet most skiers on this board would put MRG in their top five.

As for Killington, if it makes my top five it is 5th. Whiteface and Killington are 5th and 6th. I think Whiteface is better when enough is open, but I think Killington is more likely to have a variety and reasonable quantity of terrain open on any given day. While I don't see why anyone would put it first, I think it has enough strong points to make some people's top 5. (Though I will admit that if I were to ski Sugarloaf and Smuggs, I wouldn't be surprised if one or both knocked Killington down on my list.)

Heck I am probably wrong. I would say that this board is a little MRG bias.

Smuggs would not make the top 5 for the same reason MRG does not.

terrain is the most important aspect when it comes to skiing. snowmaking and lifts also play a role. You can not be on it without the terrain. You are left off without the lifts and snowmaking.

I like the aspects you pointed out. You left out that it takes 69 minutes to get on the single then another 69 to get on the hill. That I can not tolerate. The natural snow is perfect but I like a ski season longer than three months.

Oh BTW we dont have crowded trail over here. Thats not entirely true there a few blue squares that get congested. Never a black diamond. The only time you will ever see a line is between 9:30 and 11:30 on the ghondola. No other lifts. Well thats not true either but I dont use the blue square trail lift.

Anyone who skiis over here chime in if I am wrong
