Here's the Deal!
We'll take $15 off the price of a daily ticket for season pass holders from any resort that is OPEN with lifts operating in New England!
You get where I'm going here. If you are a Sumday Bigger pass holder, you get $15 off on Sunday. If Mount Slow opens a lift - the terrain park park doesn't qualify - on Sunday, you get $15 off at the Big K.
This seems kind of odd for a promo. People who have passes at SR are going to ski SR this weekend. K's product will not be so much better enough to entice people to pay for skiing rather than ski on their pass. Not to mention many SR pass holders are also condo owners or will want to go up for a weekend. Not open Saturday decreases even fewer SR people that might consider. Not trying to critisize here, but it seems like this is a "why bother" promo. A better promo would be $15 off to any season pass holder... but then again, most pass holders still haven't even gotten their passes yet. I know I haven't picked mine up yet.

Now if they had extended the deal to AZer's that would be better....

I don't even care to get a handout to tell you the truth. It's not like I'm upset because I personally can't get $15 off as where I have a pass is closed. It's the principal.

If you read between the lines, it's almost like Lenscrafter offering buy one get one free reading glasses to Stevei Wonder.

How stupid does Killington really think it's clientele is?

hard to make this stuff up. But for $15 you make it sound like it is the principal, not the principle.

I'm not sure where you're going with your post other than pointing out that I misspelled which 'principle' I was implying. Like I said....really don't care about the $15, it's the principle of Killington creating an illusion of generosity that irks me.

I haven't spoken to anyone who has, but Russ has been busy cutting new trails this summer. I've been too busy to do much but drool at the snow that I can see at the top of Plattekill Mt., visible from my front porch. NO snow here in the valley, and I'm 100' inside the Catskill park! Does anyone out there have some cash to develop Bearpen? I've been trying to organize a trip to Bearpen with some people who have snow mobiles, but all I get is hot air.

I guess I'm glad I still have a couple years left as a junior... $52 for me. Working 3 jobs over the summer wasn't the most fun of times, but now it's time for that to pay off.

If this wasn't November 2nd, I wouldn't even spend that much for this little terrain, but damn I gotta get out once.

Im sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
Ive had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

Im sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mamas little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

Ive had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth
