Killington Resort busy with late season skiers and riders.

The Killington Resort today is seeing fairly heavy crowds of skiers and riders taking advantage of all of the snow that has fallen over the last 10 days. With temperatures in the mid 30's, and partly cloudy conditions, all those who have made the trek to Killington are being rewarded with great spring skiing conditions.

Of course, in the background looms the prospect of another large storm heading into the area late Sunday. As I write this various weather services are predicting 1 to 2 feet of snow for the local area through Monday evening. With many local businesses preparing to shut down for the winter season over the next several days, many in the area are asking "Are we done yet?" with this wacky winter. Oh to have had all of this snow in November... So it goes!

Note from Bill... In the course of writing this blog, many times when things do not go as well as they may have, I use the expression "So it goes". This expression first hit my conscientiousness when I was introduced to the 1969 best seller "Saughterhouse Five", written by Kurt Vonnegut, in an english literature course during my freshman year of college. The protagonist in the novel, Billy Pilgrim, uses the expression when ever a bad thing happens, downplaying the terrible conditions he experiences during his disjointed life. The novel is loosely based on Kurt Vonnegut's actual experiences as an allied prisoner during WWII. Mr. Vonnegut was one of only 7 prisoners to have survived the firebombing of Dresden Germany near the end the war. Mr. Vonnegut credited his survival of the bombing to taking shelter in a meat locker at Schlachthof Funf (Slaughter House Five) in Dresden. Mr. Vonnegut passed away this week at the age of 84. So it goes!
