The Truth!

[migs 01]

btw, i heard this from a guy who dates a girl who knows a man who bought a horse from a guy that works with the head of janitorial services at killington.

U definitely didn't hear that from me.

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

That is what I heard.

wow...that's pretty steep...Sunday River is advertising $25 on sat and sun...free today with a costume.

$65? I only wanted one ticket, not two or three. :wink:

Edit..from the Killington Website:

Adult: $0.00
Young Adult/Senior: $0.00
Junior/Senior Plus: $0.00

Now I like THAT price. :wink:










Oh wait they probably have not entered the price yet :smash:

 

[BigK]

yea. Sunday River will close midweek and only have one lift going with Downloading required. Killington pulled out all the tricks to try to get the mountain open top to bottom and be able to stay open. K1 and Glades triple will spin as well. I think its a better value.

 

[2knees]

$65 to ski a few trails or not spend anything to not ski.

seems like an easy choice to me.

 

[Highway Star]

:blink:

That's why prolly only season tix holders will be there!

Sweet!!! Everyone else can go play in traffic at Sunday River....

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

$65

And they're not opening until 10AM..crazy but I'm still going..lol..maybe the higher early season cost will keep the crowds down...wait this info is coming from BigK so he just pulled it out of his ass..wow..nice try BigK but I'm not that gullible....:uzi::uzi::flame::flame:

 

[2knees]

Well, if someone can sponsor me, I will go at that price. I don't have $65 right now for one route down....

But again, Spin hasn't confirmed that $65 is the price.

You mean it might be a rumor? lol.

then again, i read it on the internet.

either way, its not about the $'s. Its about feeding the jones.

me too...I'll head south and do some Mtn biking (for free)

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

season passes wont be accepted until the 14th. And not after their announced closing date, if they extend the season. Season passes are only good from the 14th of november until april 19th. pretty funny really.

day tickets are the only accepted form right now.

btw, i heard this from a guy who dates a girl who knows a man who bought a horse from a guy that works with the head of janitorial services at killington.

That's a bunch of BS..season passholders have to buy $65 lift tickets opening day..no way..please tell me this is another rumor..or is it just bronze passholders who have to buy tickets???:blink::blink::blink::blink::blink::blink::blink:

their stated intention is to have more trails open by sunday along with top to bottom skiing...for $40 less. we have differing opinions on what makes a better value

I called them and asked...$65 was the answer.



Hmmm, I guess I could do the $200 / 4 lift ticket deal

 

[billski]

I changed my mind..I'm going..leaving PA at noon..getting to Rut-Vegas around 5ish..probably hitting up the Sirloin Saloon or the Sushi place..and then skiing Sunday..I still think the 10AM opening sucks ballz..they should open at 7:30 or 8AM...so the early birds get a few uncrowded runs..

GSS must have taken his Midol. How can anyone say no to snow???

thanks for posting that. $65 is a bit steep but well worth it, in my opinion.

 

[thetrailboss]

See you in a few weeks...unless I win the Megabucks.

definately more steep than I would have expected, but I'm sure they spent a pretty penny blowing all that snow the last couple days........

It will still be way cheaper for me than a normal ski weekend but it's because I'm only staying over one night..anyway we should set up an AZ meeting spot at the Big K..or I'll just continuously yell AlpineZone..since there aren't any stickers or green plaid or anything for identification..I do know what Andy Looks like..from the nipple up..lol

Remember guys..set your clocks back on Saturday night so the 10AM opening will really be like 11AM..I hope it warms up enough for spring conditions..I'm thinking about bringing race skis and fat twin tips..because skiing is like a box of chocolates..you never know what you're going to get..

 

[RENO]

Well, the only response I have is that credibility in any forum is not easily earned, but easily lost. Do with that what you will.

I've read sooooooooooooo manyyyyyyyyyyyy rumors the last few days on here and KZone. I've even announced on KZone that they will be opening this weekend. I had no F'n clue when they were opening! Just busting balls. :lol: The only thing I've been waiting for is Spin to post it. Period... Can't wait to see what lower Bunny Buster will look like Sunday afternoon! Gonna be bodies laying everywhere! :-o

no offense TB, but we get it. you arent happy with the price. for someone who so often is a champion for the positive, you seem to be hammering home the negative on this one.

Well, they are going for the premium market, afterall....top to bottom off a Gondola on Nov. 2nd is pretty impressive. The price will keep the crowds down (who will go to Sunday River). I'm sure it wasn't cheap to blow all that snow either, they have to recoup some of the cost....ballpark it at $200-300k worth of snowmaking so far.
