The Beast is Back! Keep it up!

keep it up for sure, but let's not get carried away. it's a nice start but there's a long way to go ...

this reopening is all well & good but did spin do anything about the bug crawling on the k1 webcam. :)

Lol, someone used the term C.L.I.T.S. over there. that pissed me off to no end. :lol: you cant be tossing that term around without the inside knowledge.

Ni kidding. :lol:

First to Open and stay open for the season it's looking like!

SR:

"Sunday River is closed for the time being, but making snow and looking forward to a possible opening this Thursday! Part of $14 million in capital improvements, Sunday River's upgraded snowmaking system is working round the clock to make snow. Check back here for the latest opening and terrain updates."

MS:

Still shooting for this weekend. Looks like most of their snowmaking has come to a hault. http://mountsnow.com/livecamshot.html


SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

All right now. Enough with the chest thumpin'. The jury is still out until we see how late Killington remains open.

So far so good though.

Good for K. and K skiers.

I still have 8 days of lift serviced in at SR. Missed the soft opening on the 30th of Oct. Competition is good for all of us. I wonder if "Sr" pushes up its opening. I doubt it. I don't mind they closed mid week to save a few dolalrs. They have been open weekends when I could go.

It's a good start. No chest pumping here..I'll be making turns tomorrow! I can clearly remember all the SR and MS shills rubbing this in Killington's face last year. What comes around goes around!

It's a fantastic start. The weather really made a positive turn and it's the perfect opportunity for Killington to hammer the hill. Enjoy it tomorrow. See you Friday.

I thought SR went above and beyond to open for last weekend.

I have no issue with mid week closures.

K could have opened last weekend if they made an effort. IMO I understand why they did not. I think its great there is competition. Its good to have K back as an agressive force.

I guess the Someday bigger still sits badly with me:-D. I skied.:grin: Maybe I'm on both sides. I don't see it that way. Two decent approaches. One better than the other.

Can you please stop calling it Someday Bigger? That name bothers me.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

We gonna see you at the Big K this season? You should come over when the rest of your SR crew makes the trip. We'll be hittin up MRG with them as well. It's about a 50 minute drive from K so we can ski both throughout the week. Try to make it over with T and W, MB, and GoBU. Do it. Just do it!!!

We'll see. I did not go last year. I kind of like just booting up and clicking in and being on the slope. I would be more likely to go to K than MRG. Probably visit family in Woodstock. Bay one BBQ's have it . Very cool deal.
