So much to do... so little time....

This coming weekend at Killington will offer a wide range of activities for visitors to the area. At the Killington Grand Hotel, the Killington Chamber of Commerce is hosting the 4th annual Vermont Holiday Festival. The centerpiece of this event is the "Festival of Trees". This year, 115 trees were decorated by local businesses and residents of Killington. The trees are on display in the Grand Ballroom of the Killington Grand Hotel all weekend. Further information can be found at vermontholidayfestival.com.

And then of course, there is the skiing and riding. The mountain today was once again in great shape. Intermediate and Advanced skiing and riding was being offered off both Killington and Skye Peaks.

Howie on Cascade. Not bad for his second day out! (Click to enlarge.)

Snow surfaces are all machine groomed packed powder with a continuous fluff falling from the sky keeping everything white. it is hard to pick a "run of the day". Superstar was very nice. Cascade had some nice small mounds (not big enough to call bumps) at the top. Highline was groomed to perfection. For an advanced skier, it was all good!.

If you make it to Killington this weekend, stop by the inn and say hello. We are serving dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from 6:00. and I am sure we will have a roaring fire going in the fireplace to keep everything nice and toasty.

Let it snow!
