So, it seems that Loon (really, Loon?), Sunday River, Sugarloaf, Jay Peak, and Wildcat can all make snow, RIGHT NOW.
But Killington, the mighty Beast of the East, King of Spring, is down to 5 trails, one lift, and can't even muster some snowmaking on Superstar to allow them to stay open a couple more weekends? At this rate, the'll be lucky to make it to easter (April 8th).
This is after blowing most of their pathetic snowmaking budget on Bear / dew tour, failing to make snow on many expert trails, and skimping on middle superstar which is clearly going to melt out.
This is what I think of Killington's management and strategy.

Good luck with your pass sales and overpriced village real estate.

Snowmaking in late March? Yup, you heard that right! A big cool down is headed our way today, and as soon as we get temps, we'll be firing up the snowguns on 6 trails for a good 24 hour run! You'll find the most spring snow & terrain available in NH at Loon Mountain! Spring lift ticket rates are now in effect (see rates/buy online tab). For today, we plan to have 25 trails, 177 acres and over 12 miles of skiing and riding for all abilities with 5 lifts turning from 9am-4pm
I guess talk is cheaper than blowing snow, Beast my ass.
