I'm skiing Sunday River next year. Killington = Fail.

[Highway Star]

I've had enough of Killington's BS. uke:

I'm getting ski house at SR next year, and will ski there, Sugarloaf, and Mt. Washington.

 

[BigK]

Thank you little baby Jesus!

Ugh . . . I wouldn't wish Sunday River on anyone.

If you're going that far, you might as well go the extra two hours and get a place at Sugarloaf.

 

[WWF-VT]

Thanks for NOT choosing Sugarbush

 

[Madroch]

But what if the top ten skiers at SR won't ski with you? Or, what if they are better than the top ten skiers at K and you can't keep up (as would be the case at Sundown 8)?

 

[JerseyJoey]

Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out. Good riddens.

I figure SR has a better scene, and that it is a good staging point. Drive up there Friday night, then day trip it to the 'loaf on saturday, or hit Mt.Washington/Wildcat on the way back Sunday.

I've done stowe and sugarbush....they are great.

 

[mattchuck2]

You're right. Bethel, Maine is quite the scene . . .

Awww, I know you guys are going to miss me.

Look at it this way, you still have all this season of "Killington = Fail!!!" to look forward to.

Just when you thought they were going to get off to a strong start this season....Fail!!!!

Well it's not Killington, but they at least have a few things going on. And at least the owners aren't................uke:

Where is home for you? Bethel is nice, but its not the Access road at K and many us us never leave the access road to the River.:idea: If K opens before the 31 and stays open into May, you might feel different.

 

[MonkeyBrook]

Stay at Killington, SR sucks. The access road is lame and the skiing blows. :-o

...and you've skied at Sunday River how many times to make this statement? :roll:

About 10.

I went to school in Maine and we pretty much went to Sugarloaf every time we skied.

I know enough about SR to know I don't like it.

 

[Vortex]

Lets just say Sr is about the Vibe, the people and the skiing all wrapped into one. To each their own. I'm off to Sunday River.

 

[snoseek]

Sunday River is some of the best folks on the planet IMHO. Also the resort is focused on the skiing first-that's not just a marketing statement. Provide a good product and the money will follow was always the approach when I worked there. It seems unchanged.

 

[Highway Star]

Actually, Sunday River has seemed lame every single time I've skied there over the last 10 years. Hummm. Tough call.

So I guess it comes down to:

Sunday River = Lame.

VS.

Killington = Fail.

OR:

Lame VS. Fail

Tough call!!!!

That's pretty much how I felt when I was in college and had skied SR about 10 times...4 years of school (UMF) did all of my skiing at SL but worked in a shop at SR...then I lived at SR for a year and got to know the place better and appreciate it much more.
I wouldn't write it off like that...but then again I wouldn't drive from NY through VT and NH to go to SR any sooner than I'd drive from ME through NH and VT to ski anywhere over there. After living in Portland for a number of years I didn't find the extra hour drive to SL to be worth it.

Hmmm...early opening...late closing...good lift system, lots of terrain, great snowmaking...yeah, that place sucks!

You should just stay at KL...I've talked to the other top 30 skiers at SR, they agree.
