In typical New England fashion, the Killington region has experienced every possible kind of weather over the last 36 hours. Currently, 4 PM Thursday afternoon, it is snowing heavily. Previously we had experienced snow, sleet, r@*n, freezing r@*n, and a fair dose of wind.

Overnight the area experienced a considerable ice build up on exposed surfaces. Anything exposed to the elements is covered in a candy coating of ice from 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

The good news in all of this, however, is that snow levels actually rose slightly during the period. Once the slopes on the mountain get groomed out, conditions should be quite nice for some skiing and riding over the upcoming Easter weekend.

Let it snow!
