here is why i hate killington, in 30 words or less
half assed park (3) parks on a beginner trail (8) beginners on the jump (12) pipe sucks (14) general lack of progression of the sport of skiing (25) and thats it (28)
thats about it, its past midnight and i got bored
support Freds Freeride, the only decent thing killington has going for it, other then the fact its 10 minutes frm my house

sure killy has some GOOD terrain, but think of it like this
biggest eastern resort-worst progression for skiing...i work at freds, and the owner Hascal says daily that they should have the best of EVERYTHING in the east, park, pipe, mogul runs (which are up pretty high), lifts (stay off the superstar quad, falling apart)
look at it like this, if you lived here and skied since about 6, and the only things that realy changed are the location of their park, and some new buildings, u would get discouraged, its really a waste of resources

yeah i feel bad for Rosie and Larry and the rest of the park crew
rosie has a shitload of good ideas for the park, they just wont allow him to do it all (insurance reasons)..so he hides it, like two tables side by side (transition gap), ect
oh well, i still love killy, i was born and raised on the mtn (well i was born in rutland, but who cares)...i just wish they would get their shit together a little more

hascal is the best guy ive ever met, i loved working at the shop this winter
i wish the entire ski industry was run by guys that had hascals ideas, if it was, skiing would be years ahead of where it is now

man, you guys wouldn't even know where to start if you saw where I ski. The park is accessed by J-bar only, is maybe 300 ft long with a couple of awful tables that love to be cased. Our 'hardest' black run is like an easy blue at kill or sunday...

he's right. killington wastes their mountain. they put their park on a flat trail, and in general could do way better. people talk about the west coast being so much better. it is better, but mammoth also has like 60 some rails and like 80 jumps (or somethin like that). with the amount of terrain killington has, there is NO reason they can't have a shitload of awesome rails, and at least more/bigger jumps than they do. west coast places just seem to be smarter.

CT resorts are the worst resorts ever they make their jumps once a year and never groom them again

why is it that when someone badmouths killington, everyone else has to jump in to bitch about their mountain? no shit resorts in places with no mountains and no snow are going to suck compared to VT resorts. the point is, how would you like it if you lived near a place that actually could have huge hits and an awesome park, only they fucked it up every year

we build our jumps by hand most of the time even tho the people running the hill bought a new groomer but dont want to use it to build stuff,they say thats not its purpose and they dont even groom after a storm,they let us ride in deep pow and we dontg et any speed to hit fuck all cuz they only groom it when they want cuz its expensive on fuel

Apple Mountain, Freeland michigan...black diamond=green circle chairlift takes awhile and you only ski for maybe 5 seconds then go wait in line with snowboarders who think they're badass for about 5 min. to go down again. Worst place EVER if you all only knew...

lineskier that's a lie. They groom their jumps a lot, we just don't have the best groomers here so they don't make the jumps that good.

the same powder ridge that i skied at most of the season? i saw them groom 4 times when i was there and they most likely groomed more than that.

this thread is one of the many examples of taking your terrain for granted.
we build our jumps with our hands, they get knocked down and our passes clipped within an hour.

at least you have that... there's like nothin around me, me and my friends just build huge tow-in jumps at this golf course, it's fun, but it would be really nice to have a fucking mountain near me. the closest one is 2.5 hours away and it's biggest jump is a 10 ft. table... damn i can't wait to go away for college, somewhere with a mountain...

i think he was going more how killy sucks cause they don't do what they can with the mountain, but then again mt snow might not be as nice if asc put more money into the killy parks.

people need to read. djextreme: 'this thread is an example of people taking their terrain for granted' - dude read shit for a minute and think about it. killington is absolutely huge. they've got trails out the ass. where do they put their park? on a FLAT trail at the bottom, and the jumps suck, as does the half pipe. the guy who started this thread is bitching about how they WASTE their terrain, not about a lack of it.
for the record, even the tinies mountain can put a rail or two up and it'd be fun. how much speed do you really need? if you live in iowa, skiing's going to suck. as long as your hill does the best they can with what they have, you really can't complain.

1. i did read all i needed to.
2. it's ohio, no iowa.
3. my hill does nothing, and they could.
4. we have to do everything for ourselves, and the resort doesn't recognize what we're doing.
5. it can't really be put into words. become a local for a day, then you'll see what it's like.

i for one will not take smuggs terrain for granted, this year was just fucking aweseom at smuggs, the brought in some new rails, we had a fucking siiick booter giong, and whenever you gave them intelligent input on the jump and they knew you respected them, the would try to fit it in, it was just awesome, the pipe was siiick as well, very good year at smuggs i think, now thats not taking my home mountain for granted.
so fuck you too
