I can't read the Shirt other than the Wanted Dead or Alive part. What does it say?

The pic if of Chris Nyberg, the guy who Powdr brought in to run K.

I will admit that while I as a 2nd home owner at Mount Snow have benefitted greatly by new ownership, I do find it amusing the sense of entitlement that many of the Killington folk have about their ski season. While this may sound arrogant on my part, the diehard skier side of me is sick at the changes that Powdr has made about K's season length operation, whereas the business owner side of me can mostly understand their descisions

I sorta have the same mixed feelings. Obviously, something ASC was doing wasn't working, and if POWDR didn't make Killington profitable then you'd get another change of hands fairly quickly. But at the same time, I understand why everyone is complaining. I'm probably better off for only having started skiing there last year, and only a limited number of times at that, than having the sense of entitlement that comes from decades of long seasons. Ignorance is bliss.
