I would say cut the negativity about SpinmasterK. The reps might stop posting here if all we have is negativity for them. SpinmasterK helped me out big time with my Thanksgiving and got me a great deal at the Grand. They are just trying to do their job.



you run over to andy's board whining about the moderation here now you want people to "tone it down" over here?

I HATE hypocrisy.

WTF. There is no hypocrisy here. It was an observation. We would someone want to keep contributing if all they get is negativity.
No mention was made of moderation. He was very helpful to me and getting unjustly slammed.

Answer me this, why do you have a problem with people having an opinion. Did he say anything about moderating? There is a difference you know. (Damn talk about having your panties tied in a knot.)

My father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate says Highway Star knows if Killington is going to be open this weekend.

I'll be out skiing this weekend, no rumor.;-) The race on now to see who will be open 7 days a week,
When you say the race is on, you mean to say that the race is on to see how many other resorts in addition to Sunday River get open next week for full operation? :D The best K can do right now is a distant second. I can not see how SR would not open for the season next week, they can definitely get top to bottom back for the weekend as snow making temps return this week.

K posted on its web site that others opened only with limited or upper mountain terrain. That was the day SR opened top to bottom.;-) To save marketing face they will need to open, stay open and bring back some of the spirit of years earlier and close late in the season.

Early season I have no issue with a mid week shut down. I have skied 6 days. Nice compomise to not being open at all. I will be curious to see who opens for the Season 7 days a week, but it has little effect on me. I take opening day off or as close to it as I can and then I save my vacation days to later in the Season.

The beast statement seems lame when they are talking about other resorts while they were closed.

Ya I am a homer, but I was given the option to ski, no marketing speak.

RiverCoil, your trip report about how the Boston market may be effected by all of this was very well explained. Actions and not words.
