Killington turns white on December 2nd, versus the mud of December 1st.

One need to remember that the official start to winter is still a couple of weeks away. The cycle of snow/no snow inevitably repeats itself each year. This year is no exception. Today, Killington is experiencing temperatures in the mid 20's with light, blowing snow. For today's picture, I tried to take the same basic mountain shot as yesterday. I superimposed yesterdays picture, corrected for perspective, and created a small animation to show you the changes that have taken place overnight. As you can see, a little snow can go a long way at a ski resort.

From what I could see at the mountain, the resort has been concentrating it's snowmaking efforts on Killington peak. Snow making appeared to be taking place in the Glades, Rime, Bunny Buster, etc. At 10:00 AM this morning, snow making had not resumed at Rams Head, Snow Shed, or lower Bittersweet.

Back at the inn, we are preparing for the "Meet the Artist" night with Vermont Sculptor, John Tidd. The inns Christmas tree is completely decorated for it's maiden public viewing this evening. We took pictures of the tree from late last night while the inn was quiet. I don't know how Mary does it, but somehow she was able to completely decorate a 13 foot tree, and the inn, in under 3 days.
