Sunday River is going for TTB off Locke.

It is crazy how much these two powerhouses can make in such a short time span.

It's crazy how far the production capabilities of modern snowmaking has progressed so quickly!!

And we're live....



Can't believe 2015-2016 is upon us. Last time I checked we just finished the 2010-2011 season

It's foolhardy to look at P&L for one weekend vs what opening this early brings in throughout the reminder of the season based on the marketing hype. Unfortunately this is impossible to really sample. That said, outside of a few years Killington has been doing this since their inception so I would guess they feel it's worth the effort.

+1. Totally agree. Killington is simply The Beast of the East. They lived up to that reputation in May and are back at it less than 5 months later. Kudos!

God bless the return of The Beast! They are so much closer to me than any of the other early/late season players. Long live The Beast! Hope they make June this year. I will spend my midseason weekends elsewhere however.

Looks beautiful. A sight for sore eyes. I wonder if there's any poaching going on.

From my brother in law rubbing it in.

Doesn't look like October.

Sherpa is not optional. Looking for one still

I will gladly Sherpa for anyone who is willing to cover airline costs

 

[dlague]

Hike to the lift. Sherpa optional

Shit you have to hike down and back up? F that.

You are very anti-K. while it isn't my favorite place I embrace the early and late season they provide

I share his sentiment about hiking up and down. It sucks wearing ski boots. I did it once and swore never again. I'd much rather go to SR and download from the mid station. If I were to go back to K and hike the stairs, I'd definitely bring my boot bag with me and leave it at the bottom of the stairs. I agree the walk isn't that bad if you're wearing street shoes, but it's a different story in ski boots.

Piece of cake in snowboard boots.

It wasn't just this post it has been a lot of his post in the last week.

Agreed. I think someone at Killington must have pissed in his Cheerios.
