Isn't that Stratton's regular weekend price?

I wouldn't boycott Killington because of its ticket price, I'd boycott
it because it SUCKS!

O.K., I won't ski there at all.

People actually pay *that* much to ski on ice?

Yeah, that's why I never bothered with Stratton.

Honestly, though you could ski at killington for about 42 dollars a
day (ME ticket) if you had thought ahead so I wouldn't go too crazy.

Yeah, right. Nobody skis there because it's too crowded :-)

A boycott is an organized effort to refuse to do business with an
organization. Making a personal decision to not patronize a
business is not a boycott; it's simply staying away. It does your
wallet and your soul good, but a boycott it ain't ;-)

I find Killington tough to take, in a way. Maybe it's the access
road. It reminds me of Lake George Village (anyone know that
one?). I will always be a sucker for a ski town that has an element
of quiet ass-end-of-nowhere-ness to it. Stowe manages to still have
some of this, which is why I love the place. Killington (and
Stratton too, for that matter) almost seems to be fighting to avoid
it. Anyone else get this feeling?

That's nonsense.

It doesn't have to be an "Organized" effort of refusal to purchase a
goods or service to be classified as a boycott.

Sure, maybe "Personal Boycott", or "Quasi-Boycott" is a more
appropriate term, regardless, if I want to "Boycott" a particular good
or service, I can do it...all on my own.

I agree-- Ski Magic Mountain, adult one day ticket $46 weekend/$36
mid-week. Some of the best skiing in Southern VT to boot...
Independently owned, too, not some big corporation.. Support a real
VT business, and have fun doing it!!

Would you please post your connection to Magic, so everyone knows
where you're coming from?
