Killington Peak shrouded in clouds

Killington Peak shrouded in clouds

Mother Nature giveth.....and Mother Nature can taketh away.

The mountain suspended snow making operations on Thursday as a warm front overran the area. This time of year, warm is relative. For most of last night, a cold rain fell. The temperature last night at midnight at the inn was 35 degrees, just barely above freezing. But that was more than enough to prevent Killington from restarting the 2008/2009 ski season this weekend. Temperatures today in the Killington area are in the low to mid 50's with medium cloud cover.

The resorts current plan is to resume snow making operations on Sunday, when cold temperatures are forecasted to return to the area. Assuming everything goes according to plan, the resort is saying that they will re-open on Thursday the 20th. We can hope! .... Let it snow!
