Fax received from Killington LTD concerning Resort Opening

Without question, there has been no early November ski season. Yes, Killington did blow a ton of snow on the upper elevations of Killington peak. Yes, many people hiked up their to take in the sights (yours truly) or "earn their turns". But from a practical standpoint, the commercial business collectively called the "Killington Ski Resort" has been effectively stymied by weather more appropriate for early May than early November. With the Thanksgiving Holiday in sight, the communications manager for Killington, Tom Horrocks, issued the following communique this morning:

"In an effort to maintain clear communications among our staff and the community and how we collectively communicate to our guests, please use the following message until further notice:

Killington Resort will be open for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Forecasted colder temperatures will arrive late this weekend, enabling snowmaking to return.

Killington Resort is committed to opening with top to bottom skiing served by the K1 Gondola and will take advantage of every opportunity to produce snow. Killington's competitive advantage of elevation, extensive snowmaking system, superior grooming and dedicated staff will provide the best possible experience for our guests as we kick of the season very soon.

Updates will be posted on www.killington.com"

Currently at Killington, the weather is a cold, dull grey. The near term forecast shows temperatures falling throughout the week, with temperatures suitable for snowmaking by the weekend. While it is impossible to predict with absolute certainty what conditions will be like Thanksgiving week, I am certain that Killington will do everything they can to offer the best skiing product in New England for the holiday period.
