| no- Killington. I gotta save room for the free apres wings.  If I must buy something, the $3 baked potato loaded with free butter and sour cream usually will suffice.

| I have a pass at Wachusett. Once in a while I'll grab a burger and a fountain drink, but that's rare. Usually when I ski there I'm just going for a few hours, so I eat before I go and I eat when I get home. If I need to fuel up, I'll get the one ski area food item I'm always willing to pay for, a waffle from the waffle hut (but no, I don't waste money on the chocolate drizzle!) Also, a good note for all you Wa skiers - soda and gatorade is cheaper at the waffle hut than it is inside in the cafeteria or from the machines, so it's better if you're thirsty to hit the hut. I would say out of the 20 ski days I had at Wa this season, I probably had 4 burgers and 10 waffles. The only time I will have a real meal at a ski area (real meal defined as a complete meal including a starch, i.e. chicken tenders, fries, and a drink - not just a quick burger eaten as I walk to the lift) is if I've gotten my lift ticket free or significantly discounted. We got a bunch of free lift tickets from the boston ski expo, and I made sure that I bought food at every mountain we went to. I mean, if I'm going to ski for free, I'd like the mountain to get *something* out of it. Spending $20 on lunch is better than spending $70 on lift tickets, and I figure the mountain probably makes about the same amount of profit either way.

Hello Kettle, I'm the pot. Guess what Kettle? You're black. Actually the above is not entirely correct as that would insinuate that HPD is a troll, which he is certainly not. Quote:
