Coopers gone on Monday the 12th

[ALLSKIING]

The Green Mountain Club decided to blow it up and build a new one away from Killinton trails.

Sad... but I can understand...
Place got pretty gross as more people found out about it... Getting a bit trashey...

No need to fear, I'm looking at altenative plans for a replacement:

It was pretty shitty. Crap all over the place, graffiti...etc. Tis a shame...was a fun place to have a safety check. I'll forever be indebted to Andy for showing bringing me there the first time...and Violetta for patiently waiting.

I was hoping this was a joke. Sad but true maybe..? I guess the internet and public forums are not the best place to discuss such "gems?". I only heard of Coopers because of AZ and did not have a chance to visit. I know of very few of these "gems"(for lack of a better word) but would be willing to trade my "knowledge" of such for the opportunity

That sounds funny if you think about it.It was shitty with crap all over the place and yet you'll forever be indebted to me :lol: Twas a piece of history. You're description makes me think of CBGB.

R.I.P. coops, I still remember the day a friendly KMS employee showed me and my friend the way. A big piece of Killington history going away, sad, sad.

too late now, but what about if the AT club just left it there, and built their new one. This way they wouldn't be responsible for it any more... Can we get it delcared a landmark?

I don't need a stinking cabin for a safety meeting..the woods are just fine..

You don't understand, this was special. There were days I was there that there was a line outside. It was more than just a rest stop, it was the atmosphere.

 

[wa-loaf]

Is someone going to get pics of the place blowing up?

If you leave now, you could get before and after pics.:razz::razz:

It was a chill place. Meet cool people and chat it up. Many things in common...

i would hazzard a guess that the damage was done durring the days of cheep asc passes when you had so many people there. unfortunatly i never went there and probally wouldn't have because there would be other people there.
