Whales of snow on Mousetrap waiting to be groomed.

Whales of snow on Mousetrap waiting to be groomed.

2 more days to go.

I drove up to the mountain early this morning. A beautiful blue sky with nice, crisp, clean air bathed the mountain in a surreal glow. Huge whales of snow blown by Killington's snowmaking system were casting shadows across the mountain, waiting to be spread out on the trails. It's time.

Last night, temperatures at the inn were surprisingly below freezing. Today's forecast for the area is for warm weather followed by a prolonged cooling trend. Light snow is predicted for late tonight carrying through on Thursday and Friday. (We can only hope.) It looks like it should be a nice opening day at Killington. If you have it in your head to break out into a snow dance...now would be a good time.

2 more days and counting.... Let it snow!
