Am I really supposed to care about all this hogwash? Just go skiing on a powder day. I don’t need a calculator the night before to decide where to go. Just get into the truck and fucking go.

First job is to have definitions correct for the variables.
If folks define acreage & capacity different then the arithmetic goes out the window.
Ya think Gore actually has less uphill capacity than Greek?
and Lab and Song each have over 3/4 the capacity of Gore?
If so I’ve got a bridge to sell ya.
Lab also doesn’t have 2.5 times the skiable acreage as Song and isn't nearly as large as Greek.
Maybe Blue Line acres just mean more.
Carry on.
The Adirondacks
| Ski Area | Uphill Capacity | Skiable Acres | Skier Density* |
| Gore | 8,400 / hr | 438 | 19 |
Central NY
| Ski Area | Uphill Capacity | Skiable Acres | Skier Density* |
| Greek Peak | 8,800 / hr | 257 | 34 |
| Song Mountain | 6,600 / hr | 100 | 66 |
| Labrador | 6,675 / hr | 250 | 27 |

Certainly not as important as the price of cable
Appreciate looking into more details for coming up with appropriate results, as a long time pass holder I could have just let it slip since it showed Killington in a less favorable way to help keep people away on powder days but I thought the good people on this site deserve better.
I am not here just for my own good, that’s why I also call out “spammers “ like Marz who talked (typed) ma girlfriend into ordering ski pants since they said they would be ready for the beginning of this season which I would like to ask where Marz got that info? since Marz was the one saving a lot of money if they got enough suckers to pay the higher price Marz would get the same pants much cheaper, I wouldn’t use people
like that, and I think you should know type of person you take info from, ski hard and help fellow skiers,

News flash. You may have heard of this little pandemic we've been enduring. It has slowed the delivery of everything. Please back off Marz as I feel she is a major contributor of good information on this site. If not, may Noah John come back and throttle you...lol

Speaking of Killington, now you can pay money to get out of lines;

Somebody must have seen how much money disney makes off those. Another reason for me not to head to any of those places.
The Rules Skiers and Snowboarders Should Know Before Booking a Resort Trip This Year
Many U.S. ski resorts areas have ditched mountain-access reservations and outdoor-masking requirements for the coming season, though indoor-masking and other local health rules remain in effect.

Dude. I just don't have the mental bandwidth to figure out WTF you are saying. I can't allocate the RAM for it.
The REASON I was sharing the "data" was that I was trying to crowdsource more accurate info. NOBODY on my end is slagging on Killington. EVER. You can google "killington is awesome" to see my opinion on this topic.
Regarding that ^^ shit show, just cut it out. I'm sorry your girlfriend bought the wrong ski pants. In defense of the internet, it is kind of "buyer beware" when it comes to ski pants. Marz, for good measure, you are banned from any ski pants threads for one week.
If you break it down, all the forum rules are really different versions of RULE #1: Don't make work for the mods.
Then don’t answer the questions posed above and reiterated.
