reasons for the shorter ski season

regarding this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Killington_Ski_Resort&curid=2891319&diff=95809354&oldid=93701070 I am going to remove it because it's not true. The global warming argument is debatable anyway, but that's not what I'm talking about - Even on a good winter, the mountain would still close early because management doesn't make 40-ft piles of snow on superstar anymore - in other words, ASC is not committed to opening super-early or closing super-late.

merge with killington, vermont site

I think this has been copied from The Killington Website. --Eklapper 01:05, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest to move this as a chapter to the Killington, Vermont site. No need to keep separate sites and duplicate a lot of the information. Ekem 22:31, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually this should be a merge as User:Sjorford indicated. Ekem 11:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - its pretty short and really belongs in the Killington, Vermont article. ww2censor 19:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Maybe in the process we could make it read less like a brochure uFu 14:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The town Killington, Vermont, the peak Killington Peak and the resort all deserve their own articles, however they ought to just See also rather than duplicate information. ProveIt ^(talk) 18:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as above. Right now both are smallish articles. As they grow they will duplicate less and less information. By the logic of this proposal, should Walt Disney World be merged with Orlando, Florida, too? —BenFrantzDale 04:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as previously written. The ski area article is rapidly becoming more ski area specific—see other ski area articles here. Presumably the town portion will become more cultural, historic, athletic, civic, etc. as it grows. —EncMstr 00:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as previously written in the statements posted above. This article has vastly changed; before, it was rather small and duplicated information with Killington, Vermont but now it has morphed into a ski-specific article with sufficient ski-related information.--68.118.193.116 00:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to merge is withdrawn as article has evolved as discussed.Ekem 12:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it says that proposal to merge is withdrawn last year, then why does it still say on the article that it has been suggested that Sunrise Mountain to be merged with the Killington article? Are users still suggesting merge? NHRHS2010^Talk 04:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned Up Ad Speak

I revamped the main section of the article to get read of all the marketing jargon. The lodging and restaurants seemed to be the worst section, most of it was advertising, so I trimmed it down to the basics. I'm not a skiier, so someone who is more familiar with Killington may want to do some further cleanup.

season length

The season averages over 200 days, with the max season being about 250. As of April 14, 2018, they are only at day 158 and may be closing by early May, partially to get started on summer construction season improvements, but also the base is pretty low and the forecast is well above freezing for late April. In ski country, there have been several recent seasons by far among the worst, with two winters in a row so warm even snow making was difficult. B137 (talk) 01:28, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
