The worst thing about today was the visibility. The best? Well everything else. The place was empty, snow was soft, and they had more than doubled their open terrain since last weekend. Sleeping Bear, Upper Sleighride, Sunway to Quicksilver, and Topridge were the new additions to the count...

While important, the gondola is certainly one of the most awkwardly located main lifts out there. When they first built it, they had big plans for the area at the top. They wanted a lodge, a 50 foot tall observation tower, and a snowtubing park. It was going to serve more than just skiers. Then...

The chairs are off the AE2 due to snowmaking on Showcase that happened earlier in the week. They could have put them back on this morning so that the lift was at least on stand by, but in typical ORDA fashion, they didn't. For the weekend, both lifts should be open, so you'll at least be able...

Looks like for the second time this week, the gondola is broken. They need to do something about the reliability of the gondola, because they can't keep having breakdowns like this that effectively close the mountain.

How close do you think they are to opening anything else? Sunway looked almost ready when I was there on Sunday.

They'd need insurance for that too. There's a reason nothing like that exists.

My worst so far was at Killington on last MLK Weekend. I was with my friend who is a snowboarder, so I was also on my snowboard. It was our last run of the day on Great Eastern. I was gliding on one of the flat spots and caught my heel side edge. In a split second, it just threw me to the...

I skied from 8:30 to just after 2. Ruby, Showcase, and Tahawus were open, with Tahawus holding up the best. Overall, better conditions than yesterday at Whiteface, but I don't know why they're still only half width on Showcase. They always seem to struggle to get it full width. My theory is it...

Looks like they missed Upper Sleighride for tomorrow, but they are still reporting snowmaking on it, so maybe it opens for Sunday. It could be they are setting it up as a park. They should be able to double their open terrain by next weekend.

My guess is they want the extra snowmaking hours. The bottom looks very thin still. Despite the late opening, they will have what I believe is the most snowmaking terrain ever available on opening day. The trails are Ruby, Tahawus, Showcase, Upper Sleighride, 2B, and The Arena. Lifts will be...

Well Killington is open today and Belleayre isn't.

I just remember all of them that far back. A lot of those aren't accurate, so I would probably not trust that site.

A soft opening is maybe opening midweek instead of waiting for a Friday or Saturday, but still being open that weekend. It's not only opening on weekdays and refusing to open for a single day of the weekend. Saying the weekend would be too crowded is such a lame excuse. The discovery lodge...

And they're closed all day today with a power outage. Serves them right for refusing to open this weekend.

No, the report says they're done after today until the 24th. All I need to know is by the night before. I'm 2 hours away, which is a day trip.

So the question is why did they completely rule it out, especially now that the weather is looking quite a bit better on Saturday.

Thats what happens when you only open on a day when 98% of people are at work.

The original company, S.K.I. Ltd, sold lifetime passes. When ASC took over, those passes continued to be honored. When ASC broke up, Powdr bought Killington, and they only found out about the lifetime passes very late in the deal. Since that had a significant impact on their pass revenue, they...

If they said, we'll evaluate day by day, that would've been one thing. Instead they ruled it out. It seems they have a vendetta against weekend skiers.

This is Saturday. No excuse for not opening this weekend.
