I personally wont drive 3 hours to pay $40 to ski half a hill and have to deal with up/downloading and a very very long line.

Not to mention a lot of my friends wont go because of it, so I'd most likely be skiing that 1/2 of a slope alone. Meh.

haha as true as this may be, I feel that putting a rail or two up would be a good move on Killy's part. All the park rats will crawl out the sewer with their mommas money for a lift ticket.

Yeah I have a 3 hour drive which isn't that bad and staying over in a hotel for 2 nights to go on Saturday and Sunday, I don't care about lines or what they have set up just as long as there is snow haha.

Also for anyone who wants the buy one get one free lift ticket to use for the upcoming weeks I found the link for it http://www.killington.com/winter/2for1/2for1-skimag-2013/

Sunday River, Loaf and Mt SNow should probably be open next weekend. Sunday RIver has 200+ guns up on T2 and should have a decently legit park opening day. They also should have open Locke and Barker... not sure exactly. All those mountains are currently blowing, Stowe also looks promising....

Not to mention the myriad of shitty parents that shove their toddlers out into the heaviest crowds of the year- and often the sketchiest bump sections all year- only to watch them flail and crash into someone (of course) who they then scream at like it's their fault that parental common sense didn't outweigh their need to dick swing to the other joeys about going huge at K.

I fucking hate Killy opening week.  Seriously.  Great mountain, worst time ever to go there though.

I would cry tears of joy. what makes you say this tho? They were saying opening day the 17th and knowing stowe they wouldnt do anything nice for the people, like opening early.
