Mary taking her first turns of the 2008/2009 ski season.

Day 2 of the Killington 2008/2009 ski season saw my partner, Mary, take her first turns. Snow coverage continued to hold, but weather conditions were very different from what I experienced on Sunday.

The very top of Killington Peak was cloud covered to just below the top terminal of the North Ridge Triple. Snow surfaces were holding up well, although if Sunday was powder (and it was not), then Monday was heading towards mashed potatoes. Temperatures at the top of the mountain through noon time were just at the freezing level. At the K1 Base, temp's at noon were in the mid 40's.

The weather forecast for the next couple of days at Killington is unseasonably warm. Temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday are predicted to touch 60. So it goes!

Remember on Tuesday to go and vote (if you have not already).....let it snow!
