By the way, I just went to POWDR's site. They used to have a page showing their executive team. That is now gone. No mention of them at all. Just John's smiling face and "his" story.

I think it's mostly a k zone conspiracy theory, it's possible in the future but it doesn't make sense for them to sell until the village is done. The budget cuts are because of a poor season not because there trying to sell

Isn't the Village an SP Land Project? No doubt it will benefit POWDR. I believe, though, that POWDR does not own any real estate as it leases it from SP Land. Maybe that changed.

Agreed that the cuts are due to a very bad season.

Mostly but I think the new snowshed ramshead lodge is on POWDR. I would think the value of the resort would increase when the project is done

True, but POWDR, again, has a lease. If Alterra buys POWDR it gets.....a lease.

Hopefully John remembers to renew said lease! Or else it is Park City II!

SP land sold it to great gulf, not sure if the agreement with powdr changed when that happened.

As well as any new lifts with the village would be powdrs responsibility.

So you're saying that POWDR may own a base area lodge, the ski lifts themselves, and lease the rest?

Sounds like Park City all over again!!!!!!

Sale or no sale the cuts were likely due to the poor season. If you were skiing Killington in the spring of 2007 and didn't know any better you would have no clue thst ASC was all but done. It is not a common business tactic to harm your brand by making cuts pre-sale.

Thats hilarious. Dude was at K when I was there 2 weeks ago. He was skiing Double Dipper.

How did he smell?

How did he smell?

Thankfully it was a pretty cold day so honestly didn't notice any smells spreading through the box. But I was kind of afraid of that.

I've seen birdman wear that stuff in May when it was 80+. Definitely has a few screws loose, I've rode the lift with him many times

He has all the Screws loose in just the right way : ) He is a wonderful colorful flake in the world. A great Bonus to the Snow community. Also ran into him about 2 weeks ago at Killington just after they got 27" storm total. Great day minus the Lift issues during the day lost 30 minutes at least in broken stopped lift lines.

Does he only ride Killington these days?

same category or not since they have a lot more play time in their Furry outfits lol. Definite blind spots with these outfits. Haven't heard of any colorful animal attacks on mountains so they must be at least above average in skiing and boarding abilities.
Has anyone else seen the "Furry" riding group. Interesting : )

Any work being done on the glacier? Usually see a lot Social Media posts this time of year on the glacier height. Haven't really seen anything

From today's snow report:

"Temps will be just below freezing today and will remain below freezing throughout the week. We’re planning on using this cold period to make some more snow on Superstar and other places around the mountain. The guns are scheduled to go online on Tuesday and run through Saturday."

Saw it on Saturday, I was impressed. Adding man made to it this week. Needs more in the middle section for sure.

The glacier looks bigger than last year,they should make June if the weather somewhat cooperates
