Snowmaking today on Cascades at Killington Peak

Killington has survived that latest trick that Mother Nature has thrown our way. Warm temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday, combined with light r@!n were no match for the snow cover built up around the area over the last several weeks. At the Birch Ridge Inn, without the aid of artificial snowmaking, the snow stake measures just over 14 inches of snow pack on the ground. As a special bonus, last nights storm also dropped 1 to 3 inches of snow around the area, changing the color of the snow pack from dull gray to bright white!

At the Killington Resort, grooming and snow making operations are in full swing to prepare the slopes for the crowds expected to be in the area to celebrate Valentine's Day and Presidents Weekend. Snow making is visible all along Cascades from Killington Peak. Snow making is also reported along Great Eastern and other areas. Cold temperatures overnight should allow the resort to continue to make snow to protect high traffic areas. With any luck, skiing and riding should be quite good this weekend. We can hope.......Let it snow!
