Keep Killington Open Longer

[mondeo]

I guess the extra coin to stay open longer went towards a brand new shiny multi level restaurant/conference hall on the peak.

I'm guessing most of the k die hards would've taken a longer season/more bear needles over this.

I'm guessing the $10K or less it would've taken to run Bear an extra week wouldn't put a dent in a $7 million building.

I'm glad they're doing the peak lodge, if they tear it down this summer they can open up Cascade Headwall earlier when they don't have to clear one of the lodge's walls off the trail. Plus in the long term it will help pay for other improvements.

Yep, Peak needed replacement, was a real eyesore..

I hadn't been up there in a few years, it was really nice way back when. Or at least as nice as a ski lodget can be with people beating the crap out of it with ski boots

Looks like that pic was taken before the wall blew off, too.
