Oh get over it people!
I would agree and it's a big part of the reason why Stowe is my favorite area in VT and Wildcat and Sugarloaf are my favorite areas in NH & ME respectively. Long, good pitched runs.

Agree, nothing wrong with slow lifts. The new generation wants everything & they want it now.

Have at it. I'm not saying it's bad but I wouldn't put it the same category as the other two.

Remind me on a cold day.
Its smaller, but the runs they do have are just as long and well pitched as Stowe and Sugarloaf and all accessed off a great HSQ. Less runout at Wildcat also

Love wildcat. But for real vertical, go to Chamonix.

Sugarloaf run out sucks, so does the lift config. Terrain on the steep part is awesome.
If Cannon keeps naming the locally cut runs then we will be there soon!

The things that were added to the map, is the terrain challenging? I wondered if they "thinned it" out. Once the mountain starts cutting and thinning shit goes down hill.

Been there done that, no problem.

You seem to become upset whenever people point out that Killington's vertical is grossly overstated, and rather average or even meager compared with other northeastern mountains.
To be fair, some beginners do ski it.
And as we all know, the skiers most likely to benefit from and seek out high vertical are primarily recent bunny slope graduates. Thus it's not disingenuous at all to vastly skew your stated vertical due to terrain that only rank beginners will enjoy. [/end sarcasm mode]

HAH! They should add that to their marketing brochures when they mention the vertical!

Just thinning by locals. Just like the uper glades. They are pretty challenging.
1700 vert...........UNLESS..........you want good parking. Then we give you 3100
