I don't necessarily care what time it actually is, I care what time the ski area thinks it is, so I know if I can get one more run in before the lifts close. :lol:

Another option is to email Mike Solimano <msolimano@killington.com> and see if he can get it done.
Mike reads K Zone, no need to clog up his e mail box
thats why i posted it here. he'll see it eventually.

glad all but the trolls are onboard. who knew time could be so unifying...

Unfortunately I don't think mike cares about the clocks, this isn't the first or the second time this has been brought up on kzone.

Did you graduate from the second grade? Most adults form a complete sentence. We use a capital letter to start a sentence. Even if the mountain put up a clock? I doubt you could read it.

The clocks are back at many lifts. Top of North Ridge Quad, SS and Bubble has had it all season. Helps to easily synchronize when meeting people. :beat Thanks Mountain Operations!

Thanks so much Mountain Operations for the extra effort and expense to replace the lift clocks and remind lift attendants to have clock face outward for guests to view, not inside. Nice follow through.

They will be turned back around in two weeks, always are.... Maybe invest in a second set of clocks so the guests and the liftys can see a clock. Those clocks go for $7.99 on Amazon.

What do you need a clock for when you only ski for two hours anyways?

You don't need one when you plan on a bell to bell day either.
