Snow making operations resume on Killington Peak.

Snow making operations resume on Killington Peak.

Finally....its cold again!

Normal cold temperatures returned to Killington overnight. Temperatures overnight fell into the mid 20's. Today they are hovering right at the freezing point.

The Killington Resort is taking advantage of the change in weather to resume snow making operations across the mountain. At 1:00 PM this afternoon, snow making was visible on Killington Peak across Great Northern and down Cascades. Snowmaking was also visible on Chute under the Snowdon Quad at the junction of Great Northern. From the base area, I could not determine if snow making was taking place along all of upper Chute, or only at the junction area.

Inn guests returning from skiing and riding this morning reported firm conditions on the Killington Peak side of the resort. Conditions at Bear Mountain were reported as being softer. It sounded like there may have been some snow making at Bear Mountain overnight, based upon guests descriptions, but I cannot confirm that this was the case.

Snow making also appears to be taking place at the top of Pico, based upon what is visible from Killington.

The local weather forecast is calling for below freezing temperatures for the rest of the week with intermittent light snow. It sounds like perfect weather to allow the resort to use the worlds largest snow making system to replenish some of the snow cover melted away by the warm temperatures of the last few days. It should result in nice conditions for skiing and riding over the New Years holiday later this week.

......Let it snow!
