if the site says the 10th or 11th, it'll probably be like the 15th. killington is no longer commited to early and late season skiing.

since ASC went into 400 million dollars of debt. They no longer open early and close late, takes away from the chrachter of the mtn.

i doubt it. They weren't the first to open last year, but they wern't that far behind either. Week before thanksgiving might be accurate, I think that's when they opened last year. Thanksgiving day was my 1st day skiing, and i think they had been open for a week or so.

ther's no way in hell they're going to open by november 1st the 11th sounds right to me maybe a few days earlier, the parks okay kind of small but good rails.

SNOW is falling at Killington! We are expecting 3-7 inches by Sunday morning. Killington has more than 300 snowguns on Rime, Reason and Great Northern ready to fire. Check out the new photos in the Photo Gallery! Stay tuned here at Killington.com for updates and more photos as we head towards opening
