The disadvantage of having a sprained ankle this time of year is looking outside the window and seeing the ground covered with snow. Since last Sunday, I have been forced to live out my ski experiences vicariously through conversations with guests and friends. Much to my chagrin, they are all reporting that conditions are very good. Killington is expanding terrain almost daily. Yesterdays snow has really set the mountain up well for good mid-December skiing and riding.

Since I have not been out, I have spent most of the time at the computer writing software to integrate new features into the various web sites I manage. Earlier this week, I introduced the 'Snow Stake" which is pictured to the right. Late last night (Mary would say early this morning), I finished coding the functions to automatically publish the Killington Ski Resorts Daily Snow Report. The current report from Killington is contained in a box on the left of your screen. There are a whole bunch of technical items about integrating the snow report, which I won't bore you with. If you are interested in more information on how it works, contact me directly for the details.

The snow that we received yesterday has started to compact. The Snow Stake this morning read 6 3/4 inches. Hopefully we can keep it as we head into the Christmas - New Years period later this month.
