You choose to ski great eastern/home stretch to the bottom for fun? you do you man. killingtons vertical drop stats are pure marketing fluff, but keep on slogging down boring groomers to log that sweet sweet vert

You are just begging for him to say "Killington sucks, don't go there". You asked for it, mister.

Right where I want to be
While it doesn't suck and I ski there, reality is every ski area has its faults but some people just defend "their ski area" with blindness. Others do see what are the faults and point them out but do not like it when someone else criticizes "their ski area", only they can.

Yea because you parked there. But in terms of terrain there's zero reason to ski down there

That's not true for novices and intermediates. Once you get past the crazy portion on Skye Peak its excellent terrain for those abilities.

I do believe your statement is true for advanced/expert skiers.

Even Bear Trax down to Bear/Sunrise is fun sometimes. It's also scenic. Take that from the peak occasionally when headed to Sunrise Café for lunch or I'm parked at Bear. Riding the Sunrise chair back up also affords some of the better views of K peak on clear days. It's not always about the skiing. It's nice to lay back & smell the roses sometimes.

Heck, I even hit Juggernaut-Solidtude/Saffafrass once a year or so, on a good firm & fast morning, after a fresh groom. Talk about a leg burn tuck lol! :razz:

Nothing wrong with some nice turns down Great Eastern if its nicely taken care of. It does get chewed up and icy quick though due to the flat spots and heavy novice traffic.

Mountain Creek pass prices are out. $349.99 for all access, $319 for mid week plus weekend twilight. Here is the cool part. You can get the MAX pass add on to your Mountain Creek season pass for $299. All access Mountain Creek plus MAX is $648.99 & mid week Mountain Creek plus MAX is $618.99 which is cheaper than the $649 for buying a stand alone MAX pass.
