Short version of your answer is that you are not patient and won't give them a chance.

And that's fine. And remember, I only stir the pot. I am not defending POWDR or Killington.

And I'm no Killington regular, nor am I a property owner there. I am blissfully ignorant of the feelings some are experiencing. But I know plenty of Killington regulars who do own there, some who just bought or upgraded. Some are my neighbors. And they do not think like you do. Not at all.

So I continue to wait to see the resort open to judge how it will be operated. And for the other shoe that may drop at the former ASC resorts you say are doing all these wonderful things. Because none of that really matters to me.

To me, it is ALL ABOUT THE SNOW AND THE SKIING. And so far nobody has blown me away with either of those 2 services.
