"Let it Snow" Birch Ridge Inn Christmas Tree at Vermont Holiday Festival

Last night, the Vermont Holiday Festival kicked off it's second year with a holiday party at the Killington Grand Hotel for Killington residents and guests. Several hundred people from the Killington region attended, each voting on their favorite decorated tree. Joey Leone provided the entertainment for the evening. Kim Harris of the Killington Road Group, and Casey Crompton of Casey's organized the event. The Festival opens to the general public today and runs through Sunday. In addition to decorated Christmas trees from local businesses, ski houses, and residents, the event also features a Santa's Workshop and storytelling for children. If you are up to Killington this weekend, it's a great take.

Killington saw some light flurries overnight, but we also had strong winds so there was significant scouring of surfaces. Mary went out skiing this morning. She reports that conditions are "Flat and Fast". Snow making operations were occurring in the Needles Eye area, and near the Snowdon Quad terminal. East Fall and Highline were groomed but very firm. Snowfall is expected later this evening. Forecasts vary from 2 to 4 inches upwards to a foot, depending upon which forecaster you like. We will know by later in the day tomorrow.
