shall we break this down.

"open right now"- well true, but not really. its gonna close again this week. rendering the mountain closed.
"will close in late april or so"- okay cool, we go till july 4th with a decent snow year.
"cant get much better for parks than killington"- k, how bout breck, keystone, vail, copper, aspen,....
"hosts the dew tour stops" - no it dont. that now only in breck.
"breeds some of the best park skiers out" - doesnt mean shit. good skiers come from everywhere.

FIGHT ME BITCH. i will win..

I'm with DERS. Plus OP asked for it by calling out the West Coast, and so we are obliged to prove him wrong instead of joyfully sharing his stoke.

Take it easy man. We get that the west is better, there is no debating that. Can't you just leave us eastcoasters alone let us be stoked that we can ski in october?

as long as no east coasters try and claim shit. The best mountain in the east is worse than the worst mountain in the west

Sadly killington is indeed just a hill in comparison to mountains out west. That doesnt mean we dont slay as hard though. Its not even like killingtons vertical drop (3,200ft) is any smaller than most west coast areas so west coasters you can resume wacking off to vail and breck.

to all of you claiming the west coast. oh well. i had a season in the westocast and in the eastcoast and while i was impressed with the mountains and parks in the west i actually had a much funner season in the eastcoast and progressed alot more.

it really doesnt have to do with the biggest mountain or the best snow or best features to measure the ammount of fun the skiing can be. eastcoast preseason may just be a little bit of vertical and a few boxes. But i LOVE it like that!!

stoked killy, sunday river wont be far behind

Good post, fully agreed. The first days of the year are some of the most fun, simply because of the stoke.

It a huge marketing opportunity to be the first resort open in a region, plus its promoting sales of their season pass.
