Holiday weekends are usually busy at Killington, and this President's Day weekend is no exception. The area, and the resort, have seen good (not record) crowds this weekend. Temperatures this weekend have been crisp, but not brutal, and there has been plenty of sunshine to keep spirits up. The only down side is that the mountain did firm up substantially as a result of the thaw-freeze cycle we experienced at the end of last week. Good friends who have skied every day reported that conditions continuously improved each day, starting from icy hard on Saturday.

Of course, we have not been able to get out this weekend, as the inn has been busy. But we are still getting outside for our exercise, as today's picture of Mary stacking wood attest too. (Chivalry is not dead. I had the task of taking the picture...)
