Re: World Cup at Killington - Should it stay, or should it go?

Mike made the statement about the loss a few years ago. He has not made such a claim recently. I always thought it was an odd statement to make. What was that number based on , and was the statement aimed at FIS to secure a better deal from them going forward? For all we know, that has since occurr...

Re: World Cup at Killington - Should it stay, or should it go?

Mike several years ago stated more than once that they lost money on the WC and $1M was the figure used. Whether that's changed through the intervening years is anyone's guess. My thinking, however, is that there is real marketing value to the WC in terms of future real estate sales and, if that's a...

Re: Trump Presidency

As a follow up on Ukraine, I think Putin wants an excuse to end the war in a way that allows him to save face. Just about any way you analyze it, the war has been a monumental failure for Russia. I think Trump is coming into a situation that is primed for getting a cease-fire deal done. I doubt you...

Re: Snowmaking and Terrain Expansion Thread (2024-2025)

Time to stop whining. It could be worse. From the Sugarbush website: We're hard at work getting ready for the 2024/25 winter season, but sure could use a little help from Mother Nature. Due to limited snowmaking windows this November, we are postponing our Opening Day. At this point, we likely need ...

A Reminder of Who We Are

And what we strive to be, even when we get sidetracked along the way. Today is the 161st anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

Re: Snowmaking and Terrain Expansion Thread (2024-2025)

What everyone seems to ignore is that Killington has been bought by people who are passionate about ski racing. For that, we get a ownership with no debt and beholden to no one, a promise to invest all the profits back into the mountain for 10 years, and a contractual requirement not to sell for 10...

Re: The age of (dis)information

I think things are not all that different in terms of how people try to take advantage of one another. Just read Twain's Gilded Age and see how prevalent scams were even before there was a telephone. I think the biggest difference today is that everything moves faster and there's just more of every...

Trump didn’t publicly support Scott so, no, not a test IMO.
