I wonder how the west is looking at the east? Killington and their banner of first to open with all the first in North America talk and now resorts in CO are skiing powder and we only can wish we were! Laughable!

^ I'm confused. Was Killington not the first to offer skiing? Is it their fault that Mother Nature is hosing those of us in the East?

They don't care about the east

No it's clearly entirely Killimgton's fault. They don't want it enough.

Yup! They jumped the gun to beat out SR and now look at what happen - they cursed the whole damn neighborhood!

Killington has been open for 8 days this season. Would you have preferred they didn't open?
You people make me laugh.. Id rather get those eight days in when in reality they had very little true snowmaking weather than have them wait everyyear for a real arctic blast to make its way down. Its Just a warm november which in our day and age is not uncommon. Hell we could very well have a warm december and january as well but lets hope to ullr that is not the case.

Don't clump us all in with DLague - he was the only one bashing K about opening with the sign picture

Just playing around! But people do rag on SR because of the way they open so in the end it really did not matter. My family could not ski K town since they did more of a non public soft open. Overall both got good press out of it. I do wish someone locally as in NE was open.

Didn't you say that because you are a veteran both you & your family could get free express cards from K? If so both you & your family could have skied on those soft days. Besides only 3 of the 8 days they were open was for passholder/express card holders only.

The Killington hate is lame. They make the effort to make skiing available as early as humanly possible, and all you can do is complain that they opened before Sunday River.

From K web site - they plan to open Sunday:
12:14 pm 11/13/15--It's your lucky Friday the 13th, skiers and riders, because we've got the announcement you've been waiting for: We are reopening for skiing and riding at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 15.
Our ambitious snowmakers have been working hard, preparing the North Ridge area for the arrival of ideal temperatures, which are expected late this evening. Their aggressive plan calls for full-tilt snowmaking to continue as long as favorable weather lasts. We hope to be able to offer skiing and riding daily from here on out but, of course, that is ultimately up to Mother Nature.
On Sunday morning we plan to have two open trails, Rime and Reason, served by the North Ridge Triple. The K-1 Express Gondola will provide uploading and downloading and you will need to use the Peak Walkway to and from the open North Ridge Area. Hopefully you've been hitting the Stairmaster.

Hopefully they put down enough snow to make it through.

I am going either Monday or Tuesday
Good call. Sunday will be a nightmare.

Why? Can't think it'll be worse than any other stairway day.
It's a weekend. It maybe the only place open. There is extra pent up demand for WROD because they've been closed for a couple weeks.
