Summit Resort and Grist Mill Restaurant at Killington

Congratulations are in order for long time Killington resident Bill Bauer. Bill, who for years has been the manager of the Summit Resort, has recently completed purchasing the Summit, and it companion restaurant, the Grist Mill from Ken Budzyna.

Ken, who happens to be the only other full time resident on Butler Road besides my partner and I, has been a principal owner of the Summit for 35 years. He built the Grist Mill in 1984 as a companion to the Summit. He plans on continuing to live in Killington, but he is also looking forward to spending some time in Costa Rica

In addition to being manager at the Summit, Bill has also been heavily involved in the community at Killington. He was previously on the towns Select Board, and had been an out spoken advocate for the town in the creation of the Green Mountain National Golf Course.

Both the Summit and the Grist Mill have been local favorites for years. We wish Ken a happy "retirement". And good luck to Bill as he puts his stamp on two of Killingtons best know institutions.
