Skiers and Riders on Lower Bunny Buster

Skiers and Riders on Lower Bunny Buster

The 2006/2007 ski season has gotten off with a bang at Killington this Thanksgiving weekend. Killington opened on Thursday morning with top to bottom skiing and riding on 16 trails for over 6 miles of skiing serviced by 7 lifts. While it is a far cry from the amount of terrain that Killington sports mid-winter, as is usually the case for Killington, it is the most terrain open in the north east of any ski resort in North America.

Yesterday, the rumor number around town was that over 7000 skiers and riders made the trek to the slopes. Traffic diversion road blocks were set up around the ski resort to direct traffic to inactive base lodge parking lots and awaiting shuttle busses to bring people to the K1 base lodge. Our inn and restaurant were very busy on Friday...and more importantly, the guests that went skiing or riding reported at the bar last night that they had a good time on the slopes. All in all, a great start to the season. Now if it would only snow!
