Thanksgiving @ Beast of the East

That being said, I am one of the p.o.'ed former All For One Passholders. I am completely disheartened by what POWDER has done w/r/t the season pass, daily lift rates, closing date, and layoffs. I won't spend the bulk of my money there any more, though I cannot say that I won't go at all. I will, only it'll be every now and then as conditions dictate.

Nobody is ever going to offer a $350 pass deal in Vermont again. The Killington $600 blackout pass is still a very good value. You break even in 8 or 9 days.

As a season pass holder, I'm really happy that most of the All For One people have vaporized. Killington has been delightful this year. This weekend, there was a moderate lift line on the Gondola because it was cold and all the other lifts were deserted. The parking lot was pretty full at 8:00 on Saturday because all the junior programs started. It's maybe half the turnout of the mayhem of the last few years under that All For One program.

I'll never get the knock on K-Mart as far as the terrain goes.

I agree on this. Terrain is great, the problem I have with K on strickly the skiing side are the numerous crossovers and potential crowds/collision points.
