Snow rising from guns at Killington

Snow rising from guns at Killington

With the early season weather we have had it is hard to get your expectations up, but it does look like winter will finally make an appearance this week at Killington. Temperatures all day at the inn struggled to get to the mid 30's. Killington has had their snow making system fired up all day. Snow showers are forecasted by the weather channel every day this week. We can hope, can't we???

The Killington resort re-opened for skiing and riding today on 11 trails. Killington has published statements to local businesses that they will have the snow making system turned on all week, with the intention of breaking out of the rut and expanding available terrain.

For those of you who may have noticed, the snow stake at the right of the page disappeared a couple of days ago. It turns out, that when I designed the software for the blog, I added a function to the snow stake software to remove the picture if there have been no updates in 20 days. I originally designed the software this way with the intention that the snow stake would disappear automatically in the spring. I never imagined a November at Killington without snow. Since the last picture for the snow stake was published on November 8th, the software dutifully removed the pictures from the right of the screen. If the weather channel is right, you will see the snow stake return this week.
