method9455 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Yea Philpug is right - the thing Powdr is doing is setting Killington up for long term profitability - by cutting costs - which is unpopular. Killington has so many lifts and lodges that it costs a lot more per acre than most places. In the END, it is the right thing to do, but it sucks NOW, and I'm riding NOW so sorry guys, I'm not a charity when it comes to my leisure time and money. Especially when tickets are over $70. The only time I would hit them is late season when everyone else is closed or early season when they have appreciably more terrain - but that is over. So Powdr just lost me for this year, but not forever. I hope they pull it together because Killington run well would be awesome, it has so much untapped potential and it already is better than most places. Let some yuppie sucker pay for their prices in the mean time, I'm planning to drive the extra bit for Jay Peak this year.

Glenn Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've never even heard of poutine before this thread. After looking it up, that stuff looks gross, and insanely unhealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method9455 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'd like to hit both Stowe and Jay, they are 1, 2 on my list of places to go on the E.C. that I've never been to. Last year I looked into going to Stowe but it never panned out, this year I'm looking at Jay. I'll compare the two and go the cheaper route. I'm going out to Bachelor, a trip to Mount Snow with high school friends, and 2 season passes, so I have a lot of money invested in this season already. If I get to either, it will be based on the cheapest weekend I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan- Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'll be at Jay in the beginning of February. Stowe was a blast though. Dumped hard when i was there, which made it epic. I'd like to try and get back there sometime during the winter. PASR trip maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan- Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Make it a long weekend and go to both places...I'd put together a PASR trip to Stowe fo shizzle if there was any interest... I'd be down for sometime in march. It seems to always dump the first weekend in march. It has for the past 3 years. All the storms with totals of 20+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'd be down if I am able to make it. A PASR trip would be fun as hell As long as you don't claim anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeless Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 i knew i was the claimer knuckledragger always talks about Are you claiming to be the claimer? For what it's worth, I wouldn't have picked you for Knuckledragger's mystery claimer, but maybe he knows you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Are you claiming to be the claimer? For what it's worth, I wouldn't have picked you for Knuckledragger's mystery claimer, but maybe he knows you. As for TP4 claiming to be the claimer, he's claiming something false.

Glenn Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 It's me. I claimed I could hit jumps, and as only KnuckleD knows from our first run at JF, I cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
