POWDR selling Killington

I mean, I love the mountains for skiing and hiking and outdoors type $hit, but NH and VT are so damn boring at night! I could never live in a rural area full-time.

That's why we live here.

I feel like I'm back in the promised land when I get back on 89 again. Anything south of there is Northern MA.

I grew up on a small farm & I lived a decade in Manhattan from a lob-wedge to Wall Street to the UWS.

Give me the small farm.

You guys don’t know how excited I got when I heard on the radio WBZ 1030:
“A large ski resort operator is selling off 2 of their resorts, more coming up at the top of the hour.”

I immediately thought maybe vail is finally selling Attitash and Wildcat!

Sadly, just Killington news.

But, the day with come! Wildcat won’t be yours forever VAIL!

I suspect if Vail divests of a resort or two, it is more likely to be in Pennsylvania where they already own (or operate) almost half of the open areas. I'm surprised that the anti-trust people haven't stuck their nose in like they did with ASC in New England.

The other likely places would be some of the sub-300' vertical areas in the Midwest.

I don't see Attitash or Wildcat on the chopping block.

All that being said, MTN (i.e.: the Vail Corp.) has never sold off a ski area to date. They have sold off some golf courses and some condo properties.

I live near Portsmouth, NH. Here and along the NH and ME seacoast on up to Portland has basically everything I would ever want out of a Boston or NYC with a fraction of the people / traffic / BS. Only thing missing is professional sports, which I would rather watch on TV anyway.

To your point, if I still lived in VT, it would be within 45 minutes of Burlington only. In Maine it would be within 45 minutes of Portland.

Fuck you, Concord New Hampshire is The Hardcore Party of the world. In the sleepy 4 story who house, there's a basement or kitchen. We rage and destroy. The quarries, Mast Yards, rivers, prisons and bars.
