Keep Killington Open Longer

[andyzee]

Skied Killington yesterday, definitely a to top 10 day. Conditions were so good, we didn't stop for lunch, and we couldn't leave until closing. Outer Limits has been the best it's been all year, Needles was great, now those two areas are closed. Killington has announce a May 1st date as closing, but looks like the snow this year may last much longer than that. As a result I started a Facebook page in hopes of convincing them to go longer, If interested check it out. please be nice and civil just let them know if you are interested in April/May skiing: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Keep-Killington-Open/164020750322652?sk=wall

I'd rather have Bear open a week longer than Superstar open a week longer, but anything would be good.

Both good, Superstar until the end of May is just tradition that should not be messed with.

You da man!

Killington has had a long standing tradition of being open to Memorial Day, sometimes into June. New company took over, bean counters took over and started closing early. I can understand this from a financial stand point. However, when you look at all the fresh snow out there, and there is tons, it's painful to think they will not be open longer than May 1st. Figure it doesn't hurt to let them know that there is interest in skiing past May 1st.

Well....

ASC started the demise of late opening by cutting back little by little every season. So this has been, unfortunately, a slow death.

Since the ski business is so dependant on the weather, you have to make hay when the sun shines! The big dollars have been spent making the snow, perhaps if they spent some small dollars on radio ads down in the flatlands now, people would know that the Beast is still open and it would be successful financially for them.

I was just looking at the Killington webcams....Bear is really closed? That is mind boggling. There is so much snow on it! Why don't they just open it at weekends?
