If you care less, one negative, you don't care. If you don't care less, double negative, you care. Or is my logic center out of whack today?

If I got an obnoxious email from a killington employee using his killington email address about the way I conducted myself or ran my business, I would certainly consider including that employee's supervisor on the reply email.

What are you some kind of Narc? Tattletale? Why not be an adult and say ok what is the problem here?

In other words harden the fuck up. You too Nyberg, what a weak sauce bullshit thing to do.

Well, after reading the rest of the unlocked thread over there (WTF is up with this "locking" of threads?), I have to get serious about a new car and think of Waitsfield next year. But, dear lord, I hate driving that far to ski.

Is Powdr a public company? And, seriously, is it Mormon run? I smell Christian uptightness here.

edit: If you really want to get this guy, go over his head in the company with a very polite, but very firm, e-mail to multiple people. Especially in marketing. It's not as though the new depression is making their job any easier.

Couldn't care less = not possible to care less (don't care at all)
Could care less = possible to care less (indeterminate level of caring - might care a great deal, actually)

I was at BMMC on Saturday. Not that much fun. First time my backpack has been searched by a rent-a-cop on the way from my car to the lift. The fucker made me give him a sip from my camelbak so he could confirm it didn't contain alcohol.

I've read alot of dumb, insensitive, hell, borderline bigoted things on TGR, but this might take the cake. Solid work, Benny.

This was a real cop or a security schmoe?

And, as far as some cop sucking on my Camelback, ewwwwwww, time for anew bladder. Did he spit back?

I'll chime in here because I had to meet with this guy this winter...

I got my pass taken away for skiing in the woods on the side of the new lift they put in on bear. This was about a week before the put in the rope line going all the way down of skiers right of the closed liftline. I went in through growler, which was open. Since I stayed to skier's left of growler, I was funneled into the 'closed' area (due to a patch of very tight trees) near the lift. Patroller saw me, and took my pass. Patroller gave me a ton of attitude claiming that the "president of the company" was putting pressure on patrol to take away more passes. (This patroller also said my story was 'bullshit' and dropped 'fuck' at least twice, to which I was kinda taken back because I thought he was supposed to be professional, not some 6th grader on the playground having a tantrum, as I did not raise my voice to him or curse at him, but I digress).

He seemed like an alright guy. Didn't receive any attitude from him, but he did speak in a condescending tone. Got my pass back. But it did struck me as odd that the guy would schedule a sit-down-and-talk with both him and the Mountain Ops Manager over this situation as it was such a grey area, especially given that I never ducked any ropes.

Long story short, this is the last winter I'll be here in NH and glad that I won't have to give Killington any more of my money in the future.

You should have told him afterwards that you had oral herpes just to watch his reaction.

Well, I guess this Nyberg fellow has one thing to cheer him up living in VT.. Now he can legally have that bug pounded out of his ass.

Yon - it's an honor just be nominated. Didn't know I had earned such a place in your heart. I had no idea all I had to do was humor your email barrage by replying candidly to earn such an esteemed post. Ever bit a hand that has been trying to feed you before?

Yes, your logic is out of whack, not that I care

If you can not care less about something, then you are already at zero care. If you can care less, then that shows you already have some level of care.

Thanx 4 the props twerp!
Remember you don't feed me Lil' ca-hunt... you are civil lad but plenty naive enjoy the spring. The new poster is good work.
My 4 days at Bachelor this year were good. You must understand I have heard and taken part in way too much bitching over 4 years with legitimate reason and purpose to spend any more effort in public involvement positive and negative input or money with ya'll.....the good lifts don't run during storm cycles at mt Flat-chelor period!!!!! Don't safety me Rookie Puwnage Kook. We're out there in the serious shit 4 days a week controling for ourselves in the wickedest of terrain. My emails were the last of a dwindling effort to get that mountain polished and performing for the meager Holiday rush with the greater central Oregon tourist economy in mind. The previous repose and declaration of douche of the year is the input of many who have been keeping a very close eye on you settling and the "sunny shine" B.S. you produce daily for your poverty scale wages....."spin zone extreme" rainbows and butter cups Mt Bachelor public relations tulip bloger
maybe Tap will shine your bus.

have fun enjoy the amazing opportunity to work and live in central Oregon.

If this is what sustains you then who am I to try and convince you otherwise. We need to figure out how to harness hate to be used as a fuel. It would do this country a lot of good.

Seriously Benny, that's lame.

**snoweater** · 04-08-2009, 09:15 AM

Honestly, Killington is a ghost town anytime it rains, fogs, or even looks like it might rain. Mogul challenge almost got rained out my second-to-last season working there (04 or 05 i forget which year), looked exactly like the picture from this year. Then, the next year weather was great and it was huge again.
People are pussies, plus, it looks like they forgot the giant inflatable beer can...

Yeah, that's why the place is so hot at times. You just described 25% of winter in Vermont.

**dumpy** · 04-08-2009, 07:52 PM

I had been thinking about going to K for some late season fun... not anymore.

I'll go to the Bush instead, Win Smith would never pull shit like this. From the sounds of it, he'd tell you to meet him, some other angry folks and some people from the marketing department for a beer or two to talk it over.

Sounds like new K-mart guy has a serious case of butt hurt.
