What a great time to live in Killington! The Boston Red Sox win their second World Series in 4 years. The New England Patriots are undefeated midway through the football season. And the Killington Ski Resort is blowing snow to get ready for the ski season.

With cold temperatures finally infiltrating the area, the Killington Ski Resort kept blowing snow all night. At 9:00 AM this morning, snowmaking was clearly visible on the top section of Double Dipper, Reason, and Rime. From what I could see from the base area, it appears that snow blowing operations are confined to the area above Great Northern, with some guns also operating on lower Rime. Snowmaking at this point is not top to bottom on Rime as snow was not visible on Rime at the base of the North Ridge Triple. With the current weather forecast indicating cold temperatures every night this week, it will be interesting to watch the progress of snow making as the resort readies for the winter season.

Let it snow!
