this weeks sign that the apocalypse is upon us

wind hold issues at the loaf? that's why they have a few real, (t-bars), lifts left that allows most of the mountain to be accessed and that wind can be a blessing on pow days when refills can be had for more of the day with blown around fresh and yer also less likely to have to compete with all of the flying hippies that a mrg or bush caters to. heck, in maine people just like to ski and are way less chompy than two states over from my experience, mellower tude. vermont definitely gets more snow and consistently but also gets skied more quickly and the loaf in april? nuff said.
your choices don't suck.

While moguls are low on my priority list, I find joegm's philosophical arguments given his preference to be reasonable.

Gee. I don't.

For some reason, he wants a mountain that is stuffed full of ungroomed natural snow bump runs to manufacture a bump course for him. Killington has had a manufactured bump course for many years but it's been a training course for KMS and the K Ski Club junior programs. It's maintained by KMS and Ski Club people. This year, they moved it to Conclusion next to the Alpine Training Center to be convenient and to free up Outer Limits for the masses. In other years, it was on Vertigo.

When Killington gets hit by an ice storm, they knock the mountain flat just like any other ski resort. You can still ski ice bumps places like Devils Fiddle or the Needles Eye liftline all day. Bear Mountain used to be bumper heaven. The market changed. It's now a big terrain park and half pipe. Deal with it. They're not going to make a bump course for the general public because it would get ruined every day and they'd have to reconstruct it at a pretty major expense. It's not like running a rake over the landing area in the terrain park. It's a huge amount of labor and a day's traffic of tourons turning it into wall bumps with the back side cut away would render the thing unskiable.

ahh , geoff.....eventually the truth comes out and those who pontificate about that which they do not understand get exposed.....or maybe it's just " the market has changed " in 1 year.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
