Cold and wind blown Killington Peak on New Years Day 2009

Mary and I wish you a very Happy New Year.

The holiday weeks are always a very busy time for us at Killington. These last 2 weeks have been no exception. When I am writing the blog from a stream of consciousness style into my computer screen, it is sometimes hard to comprehend how many people take the time to read about our experiences at Killington. But every day these last two weeks we have greeted new friends who are visiting Killington for the holidays who stopped by our inn to say hello. It is all very gratifying and we thank you.

Killington today is very cold and blustery. Temperatures have fought to reach the low single digits. A brisk breeze is blowing the light snow that fell yesterday back up into the air creating a light haze over the landscape. Inn guests today were pretty evenly divided between snuggling in for New Year's Day and heading out for a few runs. From what I can tell, both camps have been equally satisfied with their decisions, although the snugglers have been decidedly warmer all day.

From a brief visit to the mountain this afternoon, the resort is continuing to make snow over many sections of the mountain. The wind seems to be playing with both the snowmaking and some of the lifts, but thats the nature of the game. Bright, sunny skies have helped somewhat moderate the personal impact of the wind. Our guests who went to the mountain, while cold, all appeared to have had a good day on the slopes.

Where ever you may be have a very Happy New Year!.......Let it snow!
