Thanks to our recent snowmaking upgrades, we fired up 115 guns on Superstar while running another 160 around other parts the mountain this past weekend. A massive 275 snowguns in total!
Thanksgiving weekend Superstar laps? It’s been a minute since we’ve done that. Stay tuned!

No im not in the camp that this year's terrain expansion is due to no wold cup. They don't have as many rental compressors.
This has to do with moving to low-E guns and one of the best Novembers in history.

Opening SS has a lot to do with no World Cup!

Well of course...
If they had additional rentals for the WC build out. I suspect we'd have seen further expansion elsewhere and the course and training build out.
We'll see next year!
Also you can view the copper base area build out and they have a SIGNIFICANTLY smaller grand stand and in general area to host the cup.

Will be tough for Copper to match the attendance #'s that Killington has been able to generate. Year after year they have been able to pull plenty of people from Eastern US and Canadian urban centers

If Copper draws 1/2 the crowd Killington has year in and year out, I would be surprised.
Add in the low snow season thus far in CO, and your now asking for folks to go and just watch the race and not ski or ride and watch the race.
With the WC now not going to Banff in early December for the speed weeks for both the men and women, and Copper's ability to put on early season speed courses, who knows, maybe the USSSA and FIS will choose to put on tech events at Killington and a 2nd US Western speed event to go on along with the races at Beavercreek in future seasons

It's not one or the other it all factors in

Copper was plenty busy this weekend. The lots were halfway full. Copper doesn't really get the brunt of poor snow early season since they handle it the best of any Ikon resorts between there large snowmaking system and easy at opening natural snow trails (very unlikely to happen this week). Winter Park, and A Basin are where you really see it. The busiest I have seen Copper are days when natural snow is only just becoming feasible to ski, and it becomes more under control when Mary Jane opens. I think it has to do with I-70's traffic too which makes it easier to get to resorts when others are unpopular.
He seems like a nice guy….

Thats fucked up.
Karma will get that person one way or the other...
Not at all shocked that person was a boarder... probably taking dangerous side hits all day while listening to the most insufferable music in a backpack speaker.
What a loser

Should of gone and notified patrol once they got to the base. Could of sent a sled to give that person a "taxi ride" to the base, and patrol likely would of encouraged some lessons or waiting until more appropriate terrain is open, in a customer friendly way
had similar experience on Center Chute- kick-booted up- near 55 degrees - got hard fast- traversed over to LG- probably saved my life. Still in bucket along with Dodges Drop. .

This mornings report:
Regarding snowmaking, our team is ready to get the system back up and running once temperatures dive back down this evening. We should get a solid snowmaking window that lasts through the weekend, and you know we’ll do everything we can to take advantage of it. We’re aiming open the Canyon Quad with terrain on Lower East Fall sometime this upcoming weekend, as well as the new Superstar Six with snowmaking set to resume on Superstar, Bittersweet and Skyelark (exact date of lift opening still TBD).
Our final tests on Superstar are happening today, so check back here for more information on our Superstar Opening Party when it is formally announced.

honestly that is a better option than just being a total asshat to the kid and then bragging about it on a Killington locals Facebook group.
Some people can't help being an A-hole, they were just born that way.
