Fall gardens alive with color

Fall gardens alive with color

A confluence of events is shaping up to make the upcoming Columbus Day weekend very colorful. Temperatures are predicted to be in the Mid 70's with plenty of sun. Fall Foliage color on the trees around Killington is nearing peak. And the lack of a killing frost in the area has many flower gardens still in full bloom with a mix of late summer and fall flowers.

Around the inn, Mary Dahlia's are still vibrant. You can see parts of the Dahlia gardens at the front of the inn in the Fall Foliage picture taken each day. In addition to the Dahlias, we also have a large collection of fall mums and asters spread through all of the gardens.

In addition to leaf peeping this weekend, don't forget all of the Columbus Day Ski Sales in all of the shops through out Killington. The Killington Ski Club will be holding their annual ski swap over the weekend up at the Show Shed Base Lodge. Many ski shops will also be present with great deals on surplus equipment left from last season. Of course, in addition to great deals on last years wares, all of the ski shop owners have been receiving new inventory over the last month to get their shops ready to open. Columbus Day weekend at Killington is usually "the" weekend to score great deals on equipment in preparation for the upcoming ski season.
