Point taken, the video is still old and tired. Why have you been swearing at me and inferring my vagina? Why are you so upset?

Sorry man. I'll make sure to praise Killington's decade old videos of trucks.

Sorry you got booted off KZone. Yikes!

Actually, I apologize to whomever I offended. My comment about the videa was pretty dumb and looking back at it, I relize that whether or not I like seeing it again, I should have kept my mouth shut.

Apologies, 2Knees!

Jerry

don't apologize now. I think you're just getting warmed up!

I don't see it happening quite yet, but consistently cooler nighttime temps is a good thing. Maybe mid-month?

I'm not sure what you mean. We were both being a$$es. I manned up to it. I never said you needed to.

Enjoy!

2knees likes a good flame war. He wanted to keep it going.

I would bet they really want to be in the race, at least at the local level. The folks out in PC probably don't care all that much, but I assume some of the K management has been here and knows what all this means.

That being said, they may have seen the fact that they almos tdidn't get open for Thanksgiving weekend last year and just want to make absolutely sure that it doesn't happen again. Quick way to do it is with the traverse. Lift would have taken a lot longer for the permit.

They were not open for T-day weekend last year if remember right. I think they reopended 12/3.

not sure on the reopen date... but they were DEFINITELY closed on Thanksgiving day.

being closed made the skiing/riding really frigging good

I was under the impression that Killington chased off any hikers.

They really can't. The ski resort is on state forest land. Part of their lease is that they make the mountain available. They own the parking lot so they can tow your car but once you're on state forest land, I don't think they can touch you. You're not trespassing. You're not stealing services. Some ambassador might mouth off to you but you can just laugh and tell them they're welcome to call the cops.

Well, it looks like SR made snow first, but who will actually open first?

Based on the efforts with the walkway, I would say Killington, but as others have said, perhaps that's just to make sure they don't get left out of TDay again. Powdr's track record is what it is.

I wish them luck. Let's get everyone open early!

 

[gpetrics]

I've always found that parking the car on the public road (not in the lots), politely listening to any Killington employees, taking names, and then informing them that you are there to access your national forest works pretty well.

No need to get confrontational or rude. However listening, and then asserting what you believe to be your rights is...well...within your rights

Killington just posted like 15+ Tweets in a row about being ready for snowmaking and the season pass deadline. Point taken! :wink:

or a feeble attempt to fight back against the Sunday River Snowmaking Leviathan!

(or I missed your sarcasm which is not unlikely)

There was sarcasm. I would think the super-multiple Tweets was an error in the Twitter feed like double posts on boards, etc. :wink:
