yeah i just moved to vt from ny and im not farmilliar with anyone up here yet, i skied all winter at killington only knowing one or two people. lets get to the point. i wanna get together an amazing ski team. you have to be in the killington area and want to get better at skiing and show all these other people who's boss. i don't want any ski racer that like to do rails without twin tip skis and like to just ride over a jump with poles tucked under your arms. this is not the place for you. message me with what you can do and what you can contribute to the team, at some point i want a potographer to put the teams videos on rsn and anywhere that we can get our name out. im doing this now so were set for next winter. thankyou

yeah, apparently ASC took wildfire away from the park crew, which was where the good park was 2 and 3 years ago - which forced them to put the only full park on dream maker which is pretty flat - but they could have set up about 15 other rails that they had lying around and could have used their imagination and made some other cool jibs
hopefully there will be a good trail for the park this year

wildfire was the worst trail ever for a park. Killington doesnt really have any good trails for parks though, it sucks. Dream maker would be a good trail for a park if it was more rail orientated rather than jump orientated because they cant have big jumps there anyways. I think Skyeburst(trail under sky peak quad, the slow one off of bear) might be a pretty good trail for a park cause it's steep enough and relatively straight... might be too steep in parts though.

and they did have a jump on viper pit, but it took up the whole trail, and lots of people complained.
i wouldn't expect much from killington this year, because of the new company. they are being gay fuckers, and closing down the k1 gondola midweek, and only having ramshead and snowshead open for food during the midweek. honestly, i don't know if Powder will make the mountain any better than what ASC did. they are underestimating what killington makes, and closing everything midweek.

ASC let the infrustructure of killington go to shit. They let that resort rot. It's going to be a long project to rebuild that infrustructure. As it stood, killy was losing money the way they operated. Good they make money on hotels and food, isn't that the point? you have to pay for your resort somehow. the snowmaking system, pointing to one area of decay, was in shambles. It was very old and so it's the first thing to be "improved" and redone. In future summers everything else will get it's chance at being worked on. Instead of bitching about a pass that's been so low for a resort that didn't care about letting it's infrastructure go to crap, look forward down the road to riding a better resort. not all capitol improvements take place right out in the open where you can see them, and they aren't going to happen the first summer of new ownership. but ticket prices will change the first year of new ownership, they have to pay for all the improvements they need to make now and in the future somehow, and it's not all going to come out of just the pocket of the ownership, the resort chips in for most of itself.

well they better make money this year because they just fired 60+ employees last month and they realy havent done much for the rest of the resort ecept the snowmaking which they put a couple million $ into i heard. and they are going to have shit open midweek this year.

I'll go full corporate on this one.
They are looking at what killy did for their resort financially. Going through their books and all that jazz. That's what you do when you buy a new business, you go through and see where they are losing money and where they aren't and make changes accordingly. The first season things will be different just for the fact that on paper this was losing money or that was losing money. it's the nature of the beast.
But don't say powdr doesn't care, or are being gay. you have no idea how stoked people are to have killy part of the company, and how excited they are to be able to go through and help rebuild a resort that was falling apart.
of course powdr will do better than asc. asc spent a shitload of money at the canyons trying to build it up as a mega destination resort and was losing money left and right. They were in massive debt. Not to mention all the other resorts they tried to build up so quickly. Where do you think all your money you were paying to ski killy was going? outside the resort to keep the company afloat.

Like I said, going through the paper trail and making changes over the summer to try and make the season profitable sucks. It sucks to make the transition from a shitty ownership that ran things badly to a new one that makes money on all it's resorts... Give it time and everything will smooth itself out. of course not everything is going to be fixed the first year. that's like buying a ski shop in february where the previous owner hadn't sold any of the product and your sitting on a huge inventory. you have to knock down your expenses and knock down your prices and try to become profitable. (not that anyone would buy a shop like that...)
and the millions in snowmaking, is pretty much replacing everything and starting over. the snowmaking system is so old and is such a money leak. a new snowmaking system not only is more efficient but can help lower operating costs and provide a better product.

Bear Mtn. is only going to be open on the weakends is what i've been told. Witch is probably one of the more gay things to happen in killington. Fuck the east.
