last year one instructor there got pissed at my friends and i for hiiting the big corrugated at the bottom, they made us move their own feature to the middle of the mountain in order to hit it, and that things pretty heavy, kinda pissed me off because they dont take the time to set it up even half decent, but thats why theres sundown

because killingtons new management has been on point with snowmaking and wanting to be the first to open/last to close, and they've done a great job so far

I must say, it always amuses me to see how many people turn out to death slide their way through a crowd on opening day but how few turn out at the end of the year when the snow is awesome and the weather is great.

No.

If there is snow on the ground, it does not suck. It simply amuses me how strong people come out when there is so little terrain and neglect to shred when it's the end of the season and things are amazing.
