Killington peak on MLK day.

Killington peak on MLK day.

The traditionally busy Martin Luther King birthday weekend is coming to a close at Killington. Once again this year, our inn served as the site for the Killington Ski Club MLK Mixer on Saturday evening. About 75 ski club members visited Birch Ridge during the course of the evening. In addition to a donation of $5.00 at the door, this mixer organizers from the ski club held a silent auction. Between the door donation and the silent auction, this years mixer raised over $4000. The money will be used to fund various programs within the Ski Club.

Temperatures in the area over the weekend were on the cold side. Daytime temperatures have been hovering in the low teens. While neither Mary nor I had a chance to venture out on the mountain over the weekend, our inn guests were reporting excellent ski conditions on groomed packed powder surfaces. The storms of late last week provided the Killington team with a lot of new snow to move around the resort, resulting in well groomed surfaces. With cold weather and light snow forecasted at Killington for most of this week, ski conditions should continue to improve. I will know for sure tomorrow when I get a chance to try out the slopes once again.

Let it snow!
