Don't get too excited, it still doesn't change the fact that the new owners have absolutely no PR skills. Terrain alone will not get me back to Killington next year. They have a long way to go before they negate all the bad PR they have created in the last few months.

lol hard to imagine huh? actually, i think i've been pretty open and willing to give them a chance. the only thing i can recall whining about is the proposed early closing.

PR? As long as the news is the snow is good people will come.

For me I can drive 200 miles for 1-2 runs at Belleayre or Hunter or 330 miles to Killington for Snowdon, the Glades area, the Canyon, and Superstar area..it's a no brainer..plus lodging is way cbeaper in Rutland for dumpy motels than in the catskills. For those driving Route 4 this weekend..watch for the DUI checkpoint just East of Rutland. I went through that last Saturday night of Thanksgiving weekend and had to go through all the field sobriety tests but I only blew a .026....be careful..those VT troopers in the green cars are like the Super Troopers..

Dude you got grow a sac and get out of daddies business and move closer to a mountain.
