Mary being fitted for new ski boots by Ray at Surefoot

Cloud free skies and warm temperatures (can you say Indian Summer) are greeting travelers headed towards the Green Mountains and Killington today for the Columbus Day weekend.

Columbus Day weekend leaf peepers will be greeted with some of the nicest fall colors in years through out the mountains. Veteran Killington skiers and riders will find all of the local ski and board shops open for business with great deals on equipment for the coming season. The annual Killington Ski Club Ski Swap is on tap at the Snowshed Base Lodge this weekend. This is always a prime weekend to shop for ski equipment, and this year will be no exception.

Mary did her part in helping to keep the local economy going, and to get ready for skiing in a month. Yesterday I took her down to the local Surefoot store for a new pair of ski boots. (The pair Mary has been skiing are about 12 years old...they did not owe her anything...thats for sure...) Surefoot Proprietor Ray Rice outfitted Mary with new boots and custom foot beds. She is now good to go for her first runs of the season which will hopefully take place in 4 to 6 weeks.

It should be a nice weekend to visit Killington. If you get a chance to head this way, stop bye and say hello!
