Killington Peak with the first snow of the winter.

The first snow of the winter season fell on Killington Peak early this morning. The storm which pushed through the area last night brought a mix of precipitation. While a cold rain fell at the K1 Base Lodge and along the Killington Road, the mountain saw light snow to about the 3000 foot level.

The snow that fell is no where near the amount needed to open the resort for the season, but it is the first promising sign that mother nature has not forgotten Killington. Local weather forecasts indicate that cold temperatures will be settling over the region over the next 10 days, which should allow the mountain to mount a sustained effort to make snow on selected trails. If all goes well, the resort should be able to hit their planned opening on November 16.

Let it snow!
