Snow making operations restarted on upper elevations of Killington Peak.

The heavy rains of the last 2 days have cleared out of the area. They, of course, were the precursor for a cold front, which moved through Killington early this morning. As it passed through the area, the residual moisture in the air briefly fell across the region as light snow flurries.

With the return of cold temperatures, the Killington Resort has restarted their snow making operations. Snow making can be seen from the K1 base area on the upper reaches of Killington Peak. Relatively high winds (20-30 MPH) are buffeting the area, giving Killington Peak an eerie look with a combination of swirling snow and low cloud cover. Snow making operations have not yet resumed at the lower elevations of Killington.

The resorts current plan is to re-open on Thursday the 20th. The cold weather predicted for the week should provide them with some favorable conditions to make snow on the mountain. Of course, a little natural snow fall would not hurt either. Time for a snow dance anyone? .... Let it snow!
