Has Sugarbush Hired Killington's PR Dept?

[thetrailboss]

But this has nothing to do with whether people care if others call out Sugarbush. The skiable acreage number is clearly stated. I would feel the same for any area. If only the 4,000-acre number was given, I would think Andy would have a fair point and Win/whomever should be asked about it. But given that they have both numbers, what is the issue? I would be interested to know whether the 500ish number includes marked glades, and that would be a fair question for any ski area that doesn't clearly specify. But there is no "tough[]" question here at all.

x2.

After that shitty day we had at Gore HPD, I could slam that place, but I'm not ignorant in being able to identify that it has a lot of great terrain despite not being able to ski it all. And despite the conditions being so crappy (as we expected), I don't regret the 3 hour drive up and 5 hours home and still had fun hanging with you, Jim and Brian and just getting a feel for the place.

I especially liked the inside of the bottom shack for the Topridge Triple, it was nice and cozy. The food was pretty good too...

Sorry, but you're entirely missing the point. I'm a big SB fan, but I slam them as well, though mostly over at SkiMRV where it is more likely to get noticed. Of course, when I do so, I got slammed for whining about the Castlerock Pub being too small (doubling in size this year), lack of boot/bag storage (doubling in size this year), and too few seats in the cafeteria (they now open the old VH lodge on weekends/holidays). But I don't think it's whining when it's a real problem, and especially when you're subsequently vindicated by the resort throwing down susbstantial coin to fix the problems you've been talking about.

They're obviously just trying to make you happy! Did they rip down those damn digital ad boards yet? Big wink here:

There's a big difference between constructive criticism and incessant whining, or being condescending (I'm not suggesting anyone is doing that here, but there's plenty of it especially in the K threads). It's all in the presentation which is admittedly difficult to perfect at times with just the typed word.

With that said, I'm hopeful that industry people do take the suggestions posted here seriously. I suspect that many do and as Tinny points out the folks at Sugarbush have actually implemented some of them. I think that's pretty cool. But again we should all be civil about it. Give respect to get it.

The bigger man would just own it and admit you were off base.

HPD, I can see where your coming from and how it may look that way. However, IMHO, in this case Greg was just telling Andy what an idiot he is for asking a stupid question. I didn't see it as slamming anyone for offering a negative opinion on SB. In other cases I believe Greg speaks passionately about the mountains he likes, just as you do. That doesn't necessarily mean that there's an AZ policy of stifling negativity towards them. I think we do a pretty good job of letting these types of "discussion's" run their course, or until they turn into an all out flame war. I think it would be unfair for anyone to expect Greg not to voice his opinion just because he's the site admin.

That said; Greg, cut the crap with the cry baby picture, it's getting old. Consider yourself warned... :roll:

Thank you, Brian. I've always said I'm a member first and an admin second. Difficult line to travel sometimes. If I didn't enjoy this community on a personal level, I wouldn't be posting here.

If anyone missed it, I was kidding about the tree measuring. I thought it was a ludicrous enough comment that the winkie was implied... :lol:

I've seen too many flamefests on various forums because the writer thought his remark was clear and obvious. :smash:

Then ban me bitch.

Yes, please do, at the very least for using such vulgar lanuage on a family board.

Speaking of a family board... Your avatar looks like some pedo gym teacher with his face pressed up against the glass window of his office inside the boys locker room.

Don't you know how important I am??!! They obviously bowed to my will. As for the digital ad boards, I have fired merely an opening salvo. :-D Took me two years to get traction on the CR Pub and boot/bag room. Give me time. :lol:

Thank God, no. Time to curb my cringe humor for a bit. ;-)

Best of luck on this latest crusade. Maybe they'll name a glade after you or something...
