Some comments on IKON pass on Killington Locals FB group by new Killington President Mike Solimano:

 

[KustyTheKlown]

very glad to know ikon killington is secure at least a few more years and that solimano seems to view the relationship positively

iKon doesn't bother me, I don't ski Saturdays until late spring so I never see the crowds.

Do we know if the new owners are doing the Spring pass this year? Also any word on what the Killington season pass prices will be next year? It kills me how much Killington charges for kids passes.

Nice to have a general manager that asks customers what they want and engages with them. Maybe someone from Sugarbush could take note?

Not sure but given Superstar is out of the late season equation and thus a shorter May, will be interesting to see what they do here.

they could prob keep the canyon going pretty deep, maybe a walk out on the run out

I still think they should just blow a bunch of extra snow on OL and run their Spring Ops out of Bear as long as the snow holds out. Sure it won't be as long as Superstar or a trail in the Canyon would likely last, but you have the base facilities right there without any need for transport out, and you'd be keeping people away from what will likely be an active construction site around the base of Superstar

I would pay $359 for a spring pass and show up every Sunday from St Patrick's Day to closing day if they committed to OL and the Fiddle for a deep run.

I suspect I'll be in the minority here but I'm really looking forward to late season in the Canyon this year. I don't mind superstar, aside from the WC base which IMO totally ruins the trail for freeskiing, even in April-may, and that's from someone who actually enjoys the occasional icy groomer day given the right skis. But separately I just love the canyon area

Devils Fiddle (and Devils Den) now open after first snowmaking there in 10 years! Currently 153/155 trails open (Dream Maker, Superpipe are the two not open)

I'm looking forward to spring in the canyon, bear would be cool but the base area usually turns into a pond before the trails melt

I'm pretty sure (other than a couple beginner areas) that I've skied every marked trail/glade at Killington except Devil's Den/Bears Ass. It's so rarely open that I don't think I've ever actually had a chance to ski it. Hell I've only skied the Fiddle a handful of times and maybe once or twice from the top (usually have to take the OL Express route and end up starting from halfway down the trail).

i had some amazing poached runs on fiddle last year. snow really collects skiers left along the tree line on the top
