Snow Guns blasting Lower Bunny Buster

Snow Guns blasting Lower Bunny Buster

From the looks of the mountain this morning, the snowmaking system at Killington was in high gear last night. Temperatures dropped to the high teens/low twenties over night setting up perfect conditions for blanketing Killington in new snow.

At 8:15 this morning, the temperature at the K1 base lodge was 22. From what I could see, snowmakers over night had completely covered the Great Northern route from Kpeak down to Lower Bunny Buster. I walked up Lower Bunny Buster under the guns this morning. Snow depths were any where from ankle deep to many feet, depending upon ones proximity to a snow gun. Conditions were not yet skiable for the general population, due to the variability of snow cover. However, another day of making snow and some action by the groomers should take care of that in pretty short order to allow Killington to open on Thursday.

Local forecasts would imply that Killington should be able to continuously make snow at higher elevations during the day today. Temperatures are due to dip into the low 20's again tonight allowing another night of all out snow making on Killington.
