I left jersey when I was 18. Why would I want to go back.
Greg...It's not my opinion that killington is a joke. It actually is a joke. Actually lots of jokes. Afterall, it's where all the good trees are, esspecially the backside, and I hear there's a shuttle. That type of experience is the absolute last thing I would want to spend even a minute of my free time "enjoying".
The only thing they have going for them is their commitment to maintain their ROD longer then any other resort. A good mtn. to me is an empty one. It's not nearly as much about terrain as it is about snow conditions. Some of my best days have been on glof courses on XC skis with a bro or two and a dog or two...Killington represents the opposite of all those things, and the one person who I know who goes on and on and on about the place is a tool among tools....as much as I do hate to generalize, that experience combined with the retarded nature of the argument represented here is enough to convince me.
That being said, when VT get hit with a dump, it's absolutely the place to be. Every should go straight there, and hike the top for the secret bowls that take you off the backside to the waiting shuttle...and they always get more snow because they have the highest lift served terrain in the east.

wow i dont really like killington but you some issues with the place. but you are absolutly right it is the opposite of everything i like about a ski area.

out of curiosity, do you believe in farming? I'm cool with your views and what you hope to enjoy while skiing, just wondering if those views extend towards other avenues in life where the environmental impacts are far greater than ski area development. what about dam releases for white water?

You can drive up and look at the hill. It what I would call mellow terrain.

if you are ever there after a decent dump i will take to some shit that is no where near mellow at all.

Probably so. If there is a decent dump there are many other places i would go that has much better terrain.

You are a complete bro for that statement. Is that what you consider skiing? Driving up to a mountain looking at it, then finding a bar stool for the rest of your time. If K has a decent snow year. It is hard to beat! Bro.

At your hill the best thing about it is the bars.

For anyone to go to a mountain and ski or ride there a few days and think they know it all is a moron in my book. I've been just about everywhere in the NE and you can't find another mountain that has it all like Killington does. Take your worthless babel somewhere else. Or when you have a clue about the terrain at Killington come back.

How can someone say with a straight face that there is nothing good at Killington? The place is massive. Unless you're a Poutty McPouttypants who just likes to talk smack about things that, really, noone else feels nearly as strong about as you, there's surely something somewhere on that mountain that you could consider good, or gnar, or whatever.

Do you like Killington? If so, great- go ski there. If not, great, don't ski there. The people who do will appreciate it. The people who don't might let you into their clubhouse. No girls allowed, though.
