I traveled to Killington for the opening convert in their "Cooler in the Mountain" concert series. I hiked to Killington peak in the morning, and headed over to the Umbrella bar around 2:45 to get some beer and food before the Long Trail sponsored event started.
I wanted to take my meal back to where I set my chair and blanket on the grass area outside the bar and I got stopped by security about half-way to my chair because you can't bring the beer off the patio. Are you freaking kidding me? At an event sponsored by Long Trail, I can't go take my Long Trail IPA in to the concert area? That's just silly. They tried to explain to me that it's because of some restriction on Kmarts liquor license. Killington is foolish for allowing such a restriction to be imposed upon them. Some dude saw what happened to me and gave me beer when I saw down, so karma worked it out for me anyway.
The show got rained out. I felt they did try to wait it out, and I think they made the right call. They made an announcent that they would be passing out drink coupons for the area bars but I couldn't hear where they were doing that. No employee I spoke to knew where this was happening either.
On a positive note, I like the umbrella bars. Pretty cool.
