2020 New England Gathering poll

[Chef23]

I would love to go but my son is in season and has games on both of those Saturdays. I may try and sneak in for a Friday depending on where and what is up with my wife.

 

[Brian Finch]

Hoping to make one day! Whooot

As more of a fan of low-key ... well, everything, I voted for the earlier date. The prospect of layering a big event on top of the scene that is Killington is enough to make me run away screaming.

The final demise of the existing K-1 lodge appears to be scheduled for this timeframe. Anyone have an exact date on that?

It’s all good for me. Ikon pass holder.

This page: https://www.killington.com/the-mountain/mountain-info/mountain-improvements/k1-lodge simply states that "During summer 2020, the existing base lodge will be removed... The existing K-1 Lodge will remain open for winter 2019/20 with modified access to the building"

Doesn't seem like we'll get the chance to press the plunger to demolish the existing structure.

Someone mentioned a late March date on gondola yesterday which was also mentioned on kzone.

Lodge should remain thru mid April before demo. Last weekend of March is usually the last weekend for the Skyeship lodge on Rt 4. Top of the mountain is always fun this time of year.

@Wending's grandparents operated a farm on a large parcel of land in upstate NY. They decided to build a pond of significant size. There was already water flowing through a swampy area. This was in, maybe, 1960. They had done all the design pre-work. (Grandma was a civil engineer. Truth.) One day they had placed a bunch of charges as part of the initial prep work. Grandma was entertaining friends on the front porch overlooking the pond site. Grandpa had taken a dislike to one of the friends. So he handed her a device the size of a box of kitchen matches, with a switch on it. " Go ahead, try it," he said. BOOM. Mud rained down on the universe. Legend has it that the friend never visited again, and Grandma was secretly glad.

Now I understand.

I'll likely be there regardless of the date.

I know that tele-skier, and while he's very good, there's no way he can go mach 19.

@Phelmut & I are members of the Central Jersey ski club, with a lodge 25min from Killington, so whatever weekend it is, you all can use our lodge as our guest for $30 a night.... I need to check on the number of guests we are allowed but I don't foresee an issue unless it lines up with one of our bus trip weekends...

 

[dbostedo]

New news for me... looks like I probably have a work trip from March 30th - April 5th... so I may not make the Gathering at all. (On the bright side, it's an annual trip to Colorado where I'll probably ski on the 3rd and 4th.)

 

[Michael V]

...actually the weekend of March 27th is a club bus trip.. in which I'm running... We are skiing Sugarbush, and Okemo, so if it ends up that weekend, then unfortunately the CJSC lodge will not be available, but the following weekend is good.

 

[KevinF]

Late March is leading the polling by a 19-10 margin at this point... I'll leave the poll open until the day before Thanksgiving (November 27th).

 

[KevinF]

Poll is closed; March won. Continue discussion here:
