A snowy ride up the Superstar chair.

The Presidents holiday week vacation period is in full swing at Killington. And mother nature, although she threw a tantrum a few days ago, has been helping to put guests in the proper mood.

Seasonably cold temperatures with light snow has overspread the area the last couple of days. Snow accumulations through early morning today were negligible; primarily a light dusting of white covering the base. But snow fall has picked up this afternoon with an inch or so covering walkways around the inn.

Skier traffic at the mountain is reported to be lighter than usual for a holiday week. Our inn guests are reporting that the mountain has done a very good job on trail grooming. The hard pack left over from the last warm/freeze cycle has been broken up nicely resulting in generally soft surfaces. Some slick spots still exist in high traffic areas. Certainly the added fluff we are receiving this afternoon should help to keep things nice on the mountain for tomorrow.

Let it snow!
