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.


I have only skied there 5 6 times. I got enough to Judge. You dont hold a candlestick. Heck I dont even consider you a big hill in the east. Cant find another mountain. I think a couple hundred thousand did.
HMMM you are a tool of an employee to make posts like you just did.

I am guessing tool comes natural to you

Killington is a joke. It's all about everything I hate about skiing. The only person I know who was a killington regular is the person who I reguard as one of the large self-absorbed A$$holes on the stowe lift lines. He's all I ever really needed to know about that place....

I bet you would have fun at Killington...

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

now mind you, I'm far from a fan of Killington, but I think most eastern skiers would agree that outside of the slides, you can find just as challenging terrain there as you can at White Face.

I do understand what you're saying a bit though. I've never skied Whiteface, only driven to the base and my jaw dropped, which isn't the case for me when I drive up to K.

That said, it does have steeps that rival just about anywhere in the east. Unfortunately, they cleared those steeps as wide as a football field making the trails far easier to navigate. I look at Superstar / Ovation and Outer Limits / Fiddle. In both situations the mountain would be SO much better had they cut five narrow runs instead of two mega trails. What was done to Double Dipper is a darn shame as well.

Killington also lacks a high speed cruiser with sustained pitch and vert like say Hayride at Stowe.

:lol: guess I can bash the place pretty quickly when I'm trying to defend it from what in my opinion is a bit harsh and whiteface elitist view you have of the place.

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?

I try and live low impact and as a consumer, am concious about my choices of where my money goes. I don't buy passes because I don't like what the ski areas do. As a result I discovered lifts are for old ladie's stairs. I consume very little as compared to the average american, My out door gear is made up of things other people throw away or things I can get free or cheap, and I use them until lthey are completely done. I rarely buy anything new. We compost. We buy local as much as we can afford (thanks "free trade agreements") I recreate locally as much as possible and If I drive I try and fill my car with people. On the Whole, I feel that if every american made simple sacrafices, alot of "problems" would not exsist. And a profrssional chef, I am more then aware of food source issues.
I like to paddle creeks which, unless you live in Ashville, are all free flowing.
We all have to draw our own line in the sand and decide for ourselves what is and what is not worth it overall.
If you look closely enough, we are all contradictions. One person can not say one way or another that their lifestyle is rightous and anothers is not. But what we can and should expect out of eachother is a conciousness about what we consume and how that impacts the world, not just our town, or state or country. I know that I am very concious of what I spend money on, and how big an impact I have on our enviornment. I am very comfortable with the fact that I'm doing my part.
Do I now have the right to an opinion or do I need to grow my own food, drive a grease car and bottle my own farts to run my earthship?


Up this a way, alot of people feel killington is less about the skiing and more about being back in the office on monday and telling coworkers "I skiied Killington this w/e." The real ski experience was at Magic that w/e..and the folks who skiied there are back at work on Monday with the guys they skiied all w/e with, and they talk about all the Joey's they pulled out of the ditch on their way home....

Cool...what exit are you from..:-D I love driving around the parking lot at Killington yelling JERSEY..in a loud obnoxious voice..you might think I'm lying but I do it everytime I'm at Killington..yes it's a little bit of NJ right in VT,,,In Vermont they say don't Jersey Vermont because the liberal hippies don't want high strung Jersey people in their state..well in Montana they say..don't Vermont Montana because the cowboys, ranchers, and good old boys don't want Latte sipping Liberals in their very conservative state..fun shit..

I just like to ski..and I get a kick out of all the Jersey Joeys at Killington, Hunter and especially my fabled Blue mountain...Jersey..whatyoutalkinbout..what what

:lol:

no, I understand what you're saying. People should be sensible about their place in the world. For the record, I'm partially against localvorism when it comes to animal raising in New England as often times it's putting square pegs in round holes....cattle raised for beef in particular. The land and climate really isn't suitable for beef production. That's really the case for most of the country though. California and the Pacific Northwest is the right terrain/climate for that.

Pigs and chicken turn your garbage into food. Venison is a nice renewable red meat......
