Hearty souls on the Snowdon Quad in the snow.

Hearty souls on the Snowdon Quad in the snow.

Yesterdays dreary weather moved out of the area with a roar last night. R@*n and sleet gave way to heavy snow showers and high winds as temperatures plunged from the mid 30's to the mid teens around midnight.

At noon time today, the Killington Resort was open with limited lifts. The fixed grip lifts of the Snowshed Double, Snowdon Triple and the Snowdon Quad were operating, as well as the detachable chair, the Ramshead Quad. Heavy icing from the rapid temperature drop, combined with high winds resulted in the limited operations. Inn guests who ventured on the mountain today reported that the open terrain was in good shape, but the high winds and continuous snow fall resulted in a very cold day on the slopes. So it goes.

Let it snow.
