okemo is opening the 7th....Killy is 'early november'. Who do you guys think is going to be open first, maybe at the same time this year? Last year at this time killington was already open!!

actually, i was at tenney this month when they opened, and aparently killy called egan and said they are already technically open, although only to employees, so i dont know.


'Regarding a skateboarder's likely response to our visit: insofar as skateboarders have complained, whined, and reacted like Nazis about the rollerblading movement, they have dug their own grave by willingly falling victim to the desires of corporate business men, and becoming the virtual New Kids on the Block of the 21st century. Their self-willed popularity has inevitably marked the end of the grass roots-skateboarding culture, and the beginning of a mass marketed tool for money. Skateboarders have invited everyone into their world, including rollerbladers, by allowing worldwide fame to envelope their culture. Although skateboarders may disaprove of our visit to their secret spot, they may rest assured that this event was initiated/welcomed by their own narcissim.'

i dont beleave that killy calling egan bullshit. killy has admited that they were beat, 2 years in a row now. they take pride in the fact that you will actually be able to ski at killy, unlike tenny, which is more along the lines of sketchin 30 yards, hitting a rail or jump, and sketching for another 30 yards to a stop, only to have to hike your ass back up to do it again. i will stick to killington.

okemo will definately beat killy unless temps up there all of a sudden drop to 20 for a solid week. other than that killy is too poor to be able to make snow just to have it melt away. their source of water isn't as plentiful as okemo. oh well thats sick for okemo. i'll be there

I'm pretty sure the thought was to join Pico and Killy, not Okemo.

As far as I've been told though, its been in the works for years, but no headway has really been made at combining them.

I know a Killington Pass is accepted at Pico (I didn't think it worked the other way around) and Pico is owned by the same people as well. But I remember talk (even like 6 or 7 years ago) about trails being cut to combind to the two areas, but there were concerns and delays because of how much work had to be done to complete it.

As far as I knew it still had not yet been completed, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think and hope it's Killy because I have a pass there and it's closer to me. But 'early november' come on that bull, they need to set a date. Until they do I really don't have any faith- althought my dad confirmed what Egan said I think? Yeah I think so.

GO kill urselves, PICO is the shit. ITs ten times better then okemo flates and killington. That wont open till december and its worth the wait. The four or five inches a week ago was just a fluk. Mother nature has something stuck in her ass. ITs been raining for a week with flood warnings, u actually think ski areas will open any time soon?>

The lifts at killington suck when they first open anyways. I'm sure they will be open in the next 2 weeks, if not then both of them are losing a shit load of money. They make snow inside then truck it out. So if their making snow and takeing it out side then leting it melt, their losing their shirt.

exactly so they're not making jack shit right now because its not fucking worth it. it's way too fucking warm around here. the past week alone if it was snowing instead of raining we'd have like a 2 ft base of real snow

that would be amuzing blowing snow in like a hockey rink and trucking it out. mabey for a rail jam or sumtihng, but not full fledged skiing.

ohh, and skifreeordie, i had roughly 120 days on snow last year, between stratton, okemo, killington, and magic. (prolly be around 80 this year, college really doesnt allow for to many days on snow, or Ill get kickd out! :)

shut u fat fuck who spends too much time in the woood s of killy raping little boys. If u ever see a really big at killingon i suggest running. He might eat u or just bring u back to coopers cabin. He is what the yeti was to okemo, but worse.
