Does a passholder day count for the sake of ss20's toes?

Sorry to be boastful - I am usually wrong. But not in this case. K open for pass holders tomorrow.

holy crap - an actual good band posted on AZ!

Sorry - I'm still traumatized by my years at UMaine Farmington in the 90s, and the absolute shit music everybody loved (Phish, Dead, and worse)

Killington will open with best product. And be packed and it should be. Race gate trail getting pounded like I would LV. Good on em for getting the pro gate bashers there so early in season. Rest will follow this weekend with marginal TTB. Mt Blow will have same thin spread TTB fan gun ribbon of death despite all the money thrown at so called improvements. Dentist Jeff will huff his dentist gass and say best mountain and product ever. NH skinareas will surprise all this weekend with better snow and terrain open thanks to colder temps. No one will go. Jell-O shots and jagerbombs for all jersey blownhards on turnpike Friday night!

Killington will open with best product - where you have to walk up and down a stair case to get to this product. Then more than half the trail will be taken up by race clubs needing to get on the slopes to do there early season drills. thinking NH sounds like the best bet from your description

This was my favorite part (bold).

What is a skinarea? Is that like how truck stops are generally seen as homosexual hotspots?

Killington will be putting the majority of it's snowmaking on Superstar, which won't be open until after Thanksgiving weekend. Go somewhere else, it's going to suck.
