Fall Foliage behind Rams Head Base Lodge at Killington

The big fall foliage Columbus Day weekend is almost upon us. The Killington area is resplendent in bright fall colors. But if leaf peeping is not your thing, there is also a lot of other activities in the area which may be of interest.

Columbus Day weekend is the "unofficial" beginning of the ski season. There will not be any skiing at Killington this Columbus day, barring some freak snowstorm, but skiers and riders from all over New England will descend upon Killington to partake in the Killington Ski Club Ski Swap which takes place over the weekend at the Snow Shed Base Lodge. To go along with the ski swap, local ski shops will also be hosting their Columbus Weekend Ski Sales. If you want new equipment for the 2006-2007 ski season, you will find some of the best deals of the season this coming weekend.

The Killington Brewfest also returns this weekend. 13 local brewers will be sampling their libations in the Snow Shed Base Lodge on Saturday afternoon. This is the 11th year for this popular event at Killington. Tickets to the brewfest are available for advanced purchase on Killington's web site or at the Snow Shed Base Lodge on Saturday.
