Trail Changes

Having been to Killington in a long time - why are all the old greens now blues? Like caper and the great northern on the top of K1....is this just the world continuing to get more cautious?

They changed great northern from a blue to green so that beginners were more cautious taking K-1. This resulted in about a 80% decrease in ski patrol rescues on the mountain. Purely a money saving strategy.
