The outside world seen from my car this morning.

The picture I posted for today is not some tricked out photoshop manipulation. The outside world this morning was draped in ice, the result of an ice storm which struck the area overnight. The good news is that it was not a lot of ice...just a half inch or so. The bad news is that it slowed the Killington Resort to a crawl this morning.

When I saw the scene outside the inn this morning, I rolled over and went back to bed. Our Chef made the trek to the K1 base lodge this morning to discover only the Snowdon Quad running. Grooming machines were lined up in a neat row on Snowdon, awaiting drivers to head out to regroom the slopes. Steve took a run from the Snowdon Quad over to the North Ridge Triple. The Triple was closed. East Fall was roped off. So he skated back to Great Northern and out...

Oh Well... there is always tomorrow....Let it snow! (Editors note: As I write this the resort is reporting that lifts are beginning to spin and trails are being opened. Our inn guests have departed the inn to give it a go this afternoon. So it goes!)
