KILLINGTON SEASON PASS APPRECIATION EVENT
Exclusive to Killington Season Pass and Express Card holders, we will be running two lifts and one trail for Saturday October 13, 2012. Killington Express Card holders will be charged $25 for use of the Express Card. No day tickets will be sold.

If conditions permit, this event will extend into Sunday, October 14, 2012. Operating hours for Sunday will be determined by Saturday evening.

The K-1 Express Gondola and the North Ride Triple Chair will operate from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Skiers and riders will use the Peak Walkway to access the one open trail, Rime.

Rime will be open with advanced terrain only and early season conditions exist. Terrain will not be groomed. Snowmaking will be in progress as temperatures permit. Walking, removing equipment and downloading are all required. There will be no terrain park features.

The K-1 Lodge will be open for guest services and restrooms. The Roaring Brook Umbrella Bars will be open with light fare and drinks.

Even with all the disclaimers, that's still rather awesome. Bodes well for the upcoming ski season everywhere, I hope.
 
When Sunday river opens for a weekend and then closes for a week, does it really count?

If the lifts are turning & people are skiing it counts.

Well 99% of us can't even show up and buy a lift ticket and ski. First day for passholder is cool...the whole weekend is lame. It would be like MRG having shareholders day, but remaining close for the public. Yes, there is a shareholder day at MRG and everyone can ski on that day.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that K is spinning and happy there are giving it to it customer (Heaven knows they suffered a lot and deserve it), but keeping other customer like myself from skiing there this weekend is lame. No, I will never buy a season pass as I live 300 miles away...but I've driven (from Montreal at the time) and skied at every June 1st Slalom ever held on Superstar from 1992 to 1997.

Pat I have a season pass but won't be there tomorrow or Sunday. It's about 300 miles for me from Brooklyn (NYC) also. Someday maybe we can meet halfway...lol
