Yeah killington is MAD touristy and the thing that makes me maddest is that to keep up with keeping snow onthe trails, they make snow DURING THE DAY on open trails! It's like a 20 degree car wash.
No thanx.
Okemo is much more considerate IMO. They avoid blowing snow during the day, and never on open trails.
I can't believe you don't like snowboarding! Well it is a pretty rough sport, its best to go when there is tons of fresh powder on the bunny hill, and snowing too so theres constant powder buildup, then when you inevitably fall on your ass it will be like a marshmallow instead of packed ice.


Once when i was snowboarding in new zealand we had reservations for this really popular resort and it snowed the night before we were scheduled to go.
you'd think that would be great but the fuckers actually had to CLOSE because they "received too much snow" and couldn't open.......TOO MUCH SNOW??? as long as the fucking chairlift is still visible there is not TOO much snow.

so we ended up being diverted to another crappier resort, along with 50,000 other assholes. and they had the snow makers on and pointed directly into the run. so it was people packed shoulder to shoulder going down the run with a jet of fresh frozen shaved ice being blown into your face.

the resort probably made bank but it sucked ass for everyone. the lines were insane and the runs were PACKED. i have a picture somewhere of people as far as the eye can see waiting in line for a double wide chairlift.
