One month ago Killington experienced the Valentines day blizzard of 2007. Is St. Patrick's day the next quasi holiday to get snowed on???

Mother Nature has not been kind to north east skiing these last 2 days. Heavy r@!n and warm temperatures have soaked the mountains resulting in loss of snow pack, flood warnings in some of the river valleys, and the beginning of "Mud Season" on local country dirt roads.

Latest snowfall forecast from Accuweather.com as of Thursday March 15th

Overnight, the snow stake declined 9 additional inches, settling this morning with 9 inches of snow behind the inn. The mountain has seen similar reductions in snow cover, but initial reports indicate that the snow pack is still holding up reasonably well to the first test of spring. But it looks like things will be changing once again in the next 24 hours.

The current forecast indicates Killington will receive significant snowfall coming into the St Patrick's day weekend, just like we saw heading into Valentines day last month. My powder ski's are in the car. I am ready for an epic Saturday. Are you? Erin-go-Bragh! Let it Snow!
