Sometimes you have to take the good, the bad, and the ugly...The last 2 days saw significant reduction in the snow cover at Killington. In the 4 day period from December 23rd to December 27th, the snow at the snow stake has gone from 13.75 inches to 7 inches... basically the depth of the snow pack has been cut in half.

There is both bad news and good news in this event. On the bad side, surfaces in the area have significantly firmed up. Temperatures fell yesterday from the high 30's at mid day to the mid teens overnight. Always the optimist, however, the good side to this is that the base will now be solid and stable for the rest of the winter season. (I subscribe to the theory that when you are presented with lemons that you should make lemonade.)
