Replying to Why does Killington feel it is so necessary to open first.

Killington kind of annoys me as to how every year for these past couple they need to beat out Sunday River by 1 day to say they opened first. Why? Does it really drive that many people to your mountain to know you opened first each year?

From what i understand Sunday River currently has much better snow making conditions and they always make their announcement and then Killington counters. Its cool you get to say you were first but when you are clearly doing it to spite a competitor it rubs me the wrong way.
