I'm melting.....melting....

Unfortunately, the Killington Resort will be temporarily suspending skiing and riding operations with the close of business on Thursday. The unusual warm temperatures we have been experiencing this week have caused Resort management to make the decision to close down the resort until more favorable weather conditions return....so it goes!

When they opened last weekend, the team at the resort was hoping to be able to sustain operations without requiring a temporary shut down. The resort team had said all along that they would operate only if they could provide a hight quality top to bottom product. Unfortunately, daytime temperatures in the 60's and night time temperatures in the 40's have created an environment where that is not possible. The reality is that the worlds largest snow making system can't function with temperatures consistently above freezing, which we have experienced at Killington this week.

The current long range forecast indicates that temperatures will return to more seasonable levels late Sunday and into early next week. The resort is hoping that conditions will be favorable enough to resume snow making operations to allow a re-opening of the resort by the planned season opening date of November 14th.

With the presidential election now over, ladies and gents, it's time to fire up your snow dances if you please!......let it snow!
