Killington and Pico sold

most would view this as the ski industry restructuring, not falling apart, me thinks ;) certainly beats ASC ownership any day.
 
I'm hoping my frequent caustic comments (echoed by Bend locals) about Powdr Corp's management of Mt. Bachelor are specific to that area. Since these companies make money on developable real estate and Bachelor doesn't have any, Powdr Corp has chosen to run Bachelor on a low expense model for regional weekenders. They obviously don't have the same attitude at Park City. And from a business perspective my guess is that Killington is more like Park City than Mt. Bachelor.
 
I like the New Sugarbush now that ASC sold it to locals.... :wink:

Someday I might learn to like the New Killington? :lol:

Comment made with tongue firmly in cheek.

I would rather ski at an area like Magic than an ASC hill anyday.
 
I was at Mt. Snow for about 10 minutes this past Friday...their summit lifts were on wind hold and I was out of there to go to Magic to get some leftover freshies.
Shoulda stuck around. Some of us hung by the summit quad when it started turning, ignoring the lifties yells of "it's gonna be awhile" and I was rewarded a little before 11am with very first chair up! Cold as all getout (as they say, it was a day for *3* socks) and stuff had been tracked for a day but there were freshies aplenty, first stone powda day of the season....and about friggin time!!

Don't regret my decision for a second...we were waffling between Magic and Snow all day Thursday and when we showed up at Snow and there was a wind hold, we were gone. 10 minutes is a stretch.

Glad we went to Magic; plenty of snow there and some leftover freshies as hoped for. Next time, I probably won't make the detour to Snow.
