Yeah, Killington's park wasn't that good last year...the park was so narrow, you couldn't say where you were going..

okemo will not beat killington. They always say their going to open first but it never happens. Thats what they said last year too...Killy will open as soon as they can..

okemo can't possibly beat killington, weather-wise and asc wouldn't let it happen.

as for their park, word is they are doing an all urbanish run.

Killington will do there snow test soon and are shooting for the 11th.

Its possible for Okemo to open first. Killington may not make snow if they see its not going to be cold enugh for a set amount of days. They arent going to blow when in 5 days its going to be up at 50. Okemo may take the risk, and open before killy

Whenever they open i cant wait just to get on snow and SKI. I mean who cares about an early season park, they will always suck. They are just stupid little rails i could do in my backyard

So what are the chances that Killington will be open on Nov. 11th? I wanted to take a trip for the weekend of the 17th...how much do you think will be open? It is early season so lodging and what not should be cheap, but the best deal on thier site for that weekend is like 200 a person to stay the 17th, 18th, and 19th and ski the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th. Anyone have any ideas for cheap ass lodging up there? Or have a house? We will buy the beer!!
