You mean this collapsed lodge? :roll: You can see Superstar Pub ain't looking so good but the vast majority of the lodge is just fine.

I also posted that clarification earlier in this thread.

-Chris

I realize that. I was not referring to you or your post. Keep up the good work.

I am speaking directly to Nick and his beloved AlpineZone Newletter I received yesterday that refers specifically to "the loss of the Killington Base Lodge".

My mistake.... I knew it was corrected in here by Chris but when I typed up the newsletter I had just pulled in the thread and the comments in fairly short order.

When I send out the next newsletter I will make the correction that it was the Superstar Pub.

there is a rumor that the skye peak express motor was damaged by a lightning strike. Chris can you confirm/deny/ignore this?

Chris, any thought as to what you're going to do with the area once the pub wreckage is removed? There used to be a deck there and a lot of us would say the deck was more beneficial to you than the pub. This could be a golden opportunity to bring back a major item that is lacking there, especially in the spring. Think of how many people would love to sit out on the deck in the spring, watching bumpers on Superstar and buying beverages and grilled food while a band is playing out there. Kaching!!!

These questions probably belong better in the Killington Challenge thread... Just a heads up.

Yup. I'm moving them over!

Yup. I'm moving them over!

As long as you realize that the pub question should not take precedence over the Killington Zone question.:wink:

No, actually I brought it to the attention of the board. Your friendly neighborhood Black Phantom.

Ok. I can't seem to get my shit together today. Started when I forgot my ID badge for work.

Killington's president, Chris Nyberg, announced this morning that he has purchased two umbrella bars, that will be installed on a new deck, to replace the Superstar Pub. The bars will have a capacity of up to 300 people. Here is an installation at Copper Mountain.

You see, some good can come out of this disaster. This should be a good improvement over the Superstar Pub ion any case, tropical storm or no tropical storm.

They should put a hot tub out there! :lol:

Hopefully those umbrellas go up and down.

Go to the Grand if you want a hot tub. This is a lodge for skiers and a deck to drink on at the end of the day.

The old Superstar deck worked really well for spring skiing. I expect most Killington spring skiing regulars will view this as an improvement over a wing of the lodge that was only open on midseason peak weekends. I'll certainly spend some money at an outdoor bar in May.

Will the new deck have a view of the stream?

 

[Highway Star]

Awesome......I like it!!!!

 

[mister moose]

This should be a great occasion to add a new beer to the draft lineup at KBL.

Maybe

or

It's time to supplement Bud and Long Trail!

 

[bigbob]

Pretty much gone now

Any word on that correction?

Argh! Damnit, slipped my mind
