As I told you on TGR, this isnt the 80's anymore. BMMC was dying long before Powdr took over.

Get over it. You sound like my grandfather at this point complaining that people dont listen to records anymore. Outside of this board, people dont give a shit about a mogul comp. Whiteface isnt bringing in the crowds for a world cup comp, let alone a bunch of drunk passholders. Get over it and move on.

No matter what Killington came up with all you old die hards would screw it up by bitching just because it wasnt the same. Why dont you open up a bit and try and make the best of things for once, you'll have a much better time in life.

This is an epic fail!!! Please come and spend a weekend at our music festival........oh wait we're not sure who's coming to play yet? We'll be sure to post that up after you've made your reservations!!

I would get a big laugh if all the jam-hippie crowd assumed it was going to be like the last few years only find out after the fact that they booked Kenny G! Always best to have a headliner booked before you announce your festival!!

Have you ever heard the saying...If you don"t have anything good to say don't say anything at all? These threads are soooo getting old. I have an idea pick a new mountain to ski...Why you ski at a place you clearly love to hate is beyond me :roll:

 

[madriverjack]

They have a mogul comp. marked on their calender for march 31st. I know it's not the bmmc, but are they still having this?

 

[bobbutts]

Maybe it will be good bands and well run event.. doubt it, but seems too early to be sure it won't

K-zone reaction....

Epic quote:

yup epic fail ... what made the bmmc so special was that it was a spontaneous party created by the extended k family. snowmont's intention is to bring 10k outsiders to k. turn the place into a prison - sounds like you practically have to shower with your wristband. among the list of things you can't bring are skis & snowboards yet it bills itself as the last snow event of the year. huh? it's pretty ironic that out of the trail signs in the poster for the event, 2 (the fiddle & ovation) will probably not open. they don't have a clue ...

Huh?

Can you just carry on this latest Killington bitch fest on KZone ? No one cares anymore.

completely false

The BMMC was THE biggest amateur bump event in the East for decades and because of it, it had the biggest party.

Unless I'm forgetting something, the event and party still raged until Powdr took over and said no more tailgating and started checking coolers in the parking lot. I don't believe the demise occurred under ASC. Now, I'm not certain whether this was a money grab by Powdr to get folks to buy their beer instead of having people tailgate or the end of tailgating was a mandate by the VT State Police. Either way, the BMMC would still be the biggest ski party in the east today (maybe tied with Sugarloaf Reggaefest, I'll give you that) had it never changed.

Where exactly will this take place?

It really does get tedious when everything they do is a FAIL, and moreover, every FAIL is EPIC.

Skye Peak Quad opens 5 minutes late: EPIC FAIL.

Bunny Buster is closed for a race: EPIC FAIL.

Superstar has a 1-inch-wide ribbon of snow on July 4th, and yet it is closed: EPIC FAIL.

Superstar Pub.:smile:

People like to rag on the big players, apparently :roll:

I propose a 6 month ban on K= epic fail threads. :flame:

Yes, and from what I hear, it's the same format as BMMC. Just a name change.

Also, horribly communicated.

First off, I was never a K regular...well, only in the Spring when skiing ended in June a, what it seems to be, a long time ago.

K made some bad decision which didn't put the skiing first. I generally don't participate in these thread, cuz I don't care anymore. I've written tons of posts maybe 7-8 years ago about K failings. Nothing is new and nothing is going to cease to amaze me.

K = no more June 1st slalom
K = no more longest season
K = missing the May 1st slalom
K = major expert run still haven't seen any snowmaking
K = no more Bear Mtn Mogul Challenge

How many strikes do you need to see that K is an EPIC FAIL.

I propose a 6 month ban on K= epic fail threads. :flame:

Better yet, I proposed a ban on new topics AND a sticky on one that says that K is an EPIC FAIL. Everyone is happy.

 

[Highway Star]

Where exactly will this take place?

Per K-zone and Killington website, in the Ramshead Parking lot. Which sounds fine by me!!!

 

[JimG.]

I think alot of K regulars who make these posts don't realize that K management is probably not upset about what you are writing. In fact, I think they encourage it because it keeps K in the forefront of everyone's attention. Look at the recent posts...K is mentioned in alot of them. They must love you guys!

Haven't you ever heard that bad press is better than no press?

I used to ski at a place & I started realizing I didn't like it (for a variety of reasons). I decided to ski elsewhere. Simple solution
