Snow Guns Firing on Snowshed at Killington, November 18, 2005, 7:30 AM

The Killington resort continues to blow snow to prepare to re-open the 2005-2006 winter season on Saturday. Late yesterday afternoon, the resort expanded their snowmaking coverage to include the Snowshed area, while continuing to blow snow in the upper elevations around Killington Peak.

Skiing and Riding is due to resume at Killington on Saturday, with lifts turning at 8:00 AM. The local weather forecast looks very favorable for continuing snowmaking, with the added possibility of some natural snow being supplied by a series of clipper systems due to pass thru the area over the next few days. Overnight temperatures were in the mid teens locally. At 7:30 AM, the temperature at Showshed was 19.
