Remember that this isn't back in the day and Powdr is not P. Smith. Just because it gets cold enough doesn't mean they're gonna flick the switch. I mean nothing says competition like a teal-colored Beast. Really. ??:fangun:??

Joking and lame rick-rolling aside (what is this - 2007? :???:), had this walkway been in place last year, October lift-serviced at Killington would have been a reality. The only thing we need now is cold temps, and my feeling is this warm pattern we've had all summer has to shift at some point, hopefully in time to kick off a great season a bit early.

Whatever....there's nothing better than an out of date internet meme.

lol, you post outside of Killington threads?



Nah, they should keep difficulty level up. You could do one of those old school Warren Miller people falling of lift (walkway) videos here.

I'll be interested to see what it looks like mid winter. Without railings it would probably be very skiable.
