Heavy snow falling at the Birch Ridge Inn at Killington

Heavy snow falling at the Birch Ridge Inn at Killington

Large numbers of guests arrived in Killington last evening for their winter holiday break. This morning, many of them ventured out on the mountain to enjoy the best skiing and riding conditions Killington has seen during a Christmas week in several years.

Experienced Killington visitors are reporting light to moderate crowds. With nearly 100% of available terrain open, skiers and riders are able to spread out all across the 7 mountains at Killington and Pico. New visitors to Killington are reporting heavier crowds, as they are tending to cluster in the Snowshed, Rams Head and K1 gondola areas.

Heavy snow began falling at Killington just before Noon. Skiers and Riders were reporting firm surfaces early this morning which got progressively softer as the new snow mixed into the groomed surface. Many of our guests left the mountain around 2 PM as the visibility in blowing and drifting snow turned poor. Heavy snow is currently falling at the inn. About 3 inches of new accumulation is expected overnight.

Let it snow!
