Disagree. The race is for the first to open. Not the first to announce their opening.

Would Killington have opened this weekend? Killington was opportunistic and stole SR lunch money - bullies!

How do you know one way or the other?

Is Woodbury a "bully" if they open Sunday morning before K?

I fully expect Sunday River to pull a sneak attack and open at 10 AM on Sunday to beat Killington.
Of course, Killington is well aware of this strategy, and will open at 8AM Sunday.
However, Killington, not wanting to be outfoxed, has already predicted this and will actually open at 6AM. In the dark.
Fortunately, for Sunday River fanboys, they are, as I write, installing lights so they can open at 4AM Sunday.
To top that, the ever resourceful Mike Solimano, has instructed Jeff Temple to line the trail with Snow Cats, lights on. Expect a 2 AM opening. So, if you want first chair, the prudent thing to do is get in line now. Behind me.

Nope. No ski area is really open unless tickets are free.

Very funny post. Quite a bit of truth hidden in there. We all win.

So season passes are free?

Killington will have lift served PAID skiing/boarding on Sunday if it all goes as planned

Does free lunch count?

K-1 Café will be serving up complimentary Season Pass/Express Card holder lunch to kick off the season.
- Just show your pass and get a free hamburger, chicken sandwich or hot dog and fountain drink.

First to open in the country....Impressive. Thats all I have to say!

Not quite first in the country. https://www.silvertonmountain.com/page/goods/press/article&article_id=125

They're the real bullies I'd say. Didn't even use snowmaking. That's not fair!

Still great to beat most of the Western players.

ALLSKIING · Oct 16, 2015

Bigger question is who will stay open.
