Sugarloaf making snow

[Vortex]

Sr Played their hand, snow making tonight and tomorrow night on Barker. Going to Weekends only after Sunday.

This is the last weekend for Jordan, Aurora and North Peak and South Ridge.

Next weekend will be Spruce, Barker and White heat chairs. The 23rd and 24th will be Barker and white heat.

30th of April and May first Barker.

Could not be more impressed or happier.

They aren't advertising this anywhere I can find. I would be shocked considering they close Sunday.

I dont know where the heck I thought I saw that but I sure as hell cant find it now.

Try as they will but I know who'll be the last man standing.

Didn't like hearing weekends only, but hearing that midweek passes will be valid weekends 4/10 on softened the blow a bit. Plan to be there next few days.

I hope K makes May 15 or longer. I like having the SS option for as long as possible. But for now I'll take the 70 plus trails and fresh snow making at SR.

I'll take the fresh 5" of natural at K compared to 0" at SR.

I'll be there tomorrow & let you know how it turns out. :-D

New snow or not, Sunday River still has twice as much opened than Killington.

As much as I wish they would try, they're not trying to make it past May 1. Just not enough business.

K may be the last resort open at the end. But I would not give them extra credit this season or say they are trying to make it. Sure, they stacked SS to more or less the same depth they have the last several seasons in a crappy year. But did they extend their snowmaking season after a very warm stretch in March. Nope (I don't call a few guns on spot areas extending their snowmaking season. THAT effort was marketing snow. Making on an entire trail(s) with every gun on it, that is actual snowmaking and recoverage. I hope their plan works out, but they have been on fumes with the weather to make May since March 1. SR and SL plan is different than K, they want a decent amount of terrain to their planned close rather than 1 or 2 routes. Its fine, but not really an apples to apples comparisson.

If I had a horse in the race I would take the # of acres SR will have until the end vs the WROD that K will have.

K WILL be the last resort open at the end. (fixed for you)

Snowmaking at the Loaf is mandatory this year. They badly need the Reggae fest.
If SR closed their lame terrain, their gaper patrons would abandon them entirely.

K received natural snow last few days. Sugarloaf and Hokey Place got nothing.
The Superstar experience on a sunny late spring day beats anything Maine can offer.

World Cup Event on Superstar will only be 6 months after this season's closing date.

FACT not Opinion.

Sucks that the stupid king of spring conversation has to start so early this season.

Reading posts by some of the K fanboys like yourself reminds me of the locker room during my HS football days

Yay!!! B-E-A-S-T Beast! Beast! Beast! Yay!!!

I don't agree regarding the terrain at SR or the patrons being gapers. What's Hokey Place?

 

[snoseek]

Why do killington people always show up in threads like this and shit on other areas. Noone really cares. All youre doing is living up to a stereotype and a lame one at that.

I prefer vermont but maine is a special place to me.

Glad Black Hole and Vortex are in he mix this weekend. White Heat and shockwave till the 24th. Every year opening and closing threads have some Bias. Positive bias is better.

 

[VTKilarney]

It takes a Killington fanboy could think that Maine skiers are all gapers. Do they also believe that gapers don't ski Killington? And who cares if other people are gapers? Do what you like to do and get hung up on what other people want to do.
