KILLINGTON: The 2008 AlpineZone Ski Area Challenge

**Greg** · Jul 7, 2008, 1:19 PM

Time to kick off the AZ challenges for 2008. Tom Horrocks, the Communications Manager for Killington Resort has agreed to take the 2008 AlpineZone Challenge! This is your opportunity to ask questions, offer suggestions, or say some praise to the men and women who are in charge of the Northeast’s Ski Areas. Please post some suggested questions in this thread and we'll select ten to present for official responses.

Also please don't be offended if we edit/change your question for grammar, tone, or some other minor thing. In order to get in all of the questions we MAY merge some questions but we'll do our best to keep the substance of your question. If we don't get your question in, feel free to post a follow up after we get the results...we are encouraging the representatives follow the threads.

As always, please be respectful of Tom and keep it civil. Also, please refrain from asking specifics about skier visit numbers, financials, demographic information, etc. Killington needs to be discrete about certain information.

Ask away!

What is your long term vision for Pico absent of an interconnect with Killington proper? New lifts, trails and or glades? Do you ever foresee a return to seven day a week operations at Pico?

Do you plan on staying open into May this year?

gettin' ugly already

I hope that doesn't detract from legit questions like mine. I've purchased two tickets to Pico for the upcoming season and I'm looking forward to riding there again. A slope, the Outpost, Upper Giant Killer were all great back in High School, so I'm looking forward to a couple of return visits.

I own property there. It's not like I have much of an option in the short term.
