I think Echo Woods was blowdown.  When they widened the trail under the 
uphill run of upper South Fridge, they created an eco-disaster.

Personally, I'd like to see Kmart plant trees down the middle of Double 
Fiddle, Dipper, & Ovation and turn them into two trails.  Put a snow fence 
on either side of the trees.  I still miss the good ol' days when Downdraft 
was some of the best glade skiing in the East.

The back side of Killington down to Wheelerville Road is starting to suffer 
from overzealous pruning.  At this rate, it'll be a windswept wasteland in 
another 10 years.
