Mary working in the kitchen

The ski season at Killington is not quite over yet, as the resort does not officially close until this Sunday, but the clean up at the inn has already begun. It is a ritual we go through every year to prepare for the next season.

With our restaurant closing last Saturday night, we began the spring tradition of dismantling the kitchen for cleaning and repair. Every piece of equipment, every cabinet, every table...everything gets stripped out so we can completely clean the floor and wash all the walls and ceiling. And then of course the reverse has to happen. Everything that came out of the kitchen some how has to fit back in, after being cleaned or refurbished, depending on the item.

It's not as sexy as skiing a bump line down Superstar, or as seductive as that first round of golf for the season (I was invited to play today...ugh...it's 70 outside...it must be great!), but the work has to get done so we can play later. So it goes.
