Conditions are softening up at Killington.

Yesterday we had a chance to take some turns on the hill. Killington has done a great job making snow all over the mountain. Our journey took us to Bear Mountain, Skye Peak, SnowShed, Rams Head, Snowdon, and Kpeak. Everywhere we went, we found nice surfaces of loose machine made snow.

My run of the day was Cascade. Killington had been blowing snow all week on Cascade. It had not been groomed. It was filled with fairly regular, nice soft bumps. My legs are not yet in great ski shape (as we have not been out enough), so Cascade was a work out... but it was also both challenging and fun.

Today, while I have not been out, I would expect that surfaces have softened up quite a bit more. We had some liquid precipitation last night, which reduced the snow around the inn. I would say that the same held true on the mountain. Temperatures are not expected to dip much below freezing the next couple of days, so I would guess that skiing this weekend will be on soft surfaces resembling spring conditions. Assuming the showers stay away, it should be pretty good.

The next snow in the forecast is for early next week. Crank up your snow dances... we could use the help!
