I said we were showing appreciation that Sugarbush is staying open 1-2 weeks longer than Killington, and this really wasn't certain until now. Mount Snow made the statement that they would turn the lifts as long as people came. Sunday River, Sugarloaf, and Jay are still open. I'm sure a few others are too.

As Geoff has said many times, Killington is training us to go elsewhere. We're just going to have a little fun with POWDR as we do.
Well, it seems to me they were pretty clear with the April 13 end date and they did extend to 4/20. Seems like they could have gone longer so I do feel for the loyal Killington spring skiers a bit. Hopefully everyone now understands that it is what it is and can start to get over it and move on. In any event, have fun with your "statement" this weekend, but more importantly, enjoy the skiing. I'm hitting the 'Bush on Friday and I'll try to get a video out late Friday night.
