Mary applying poly to the bar top.

After working well into the night, Mary finished putting on 2 coats of polyurethane on the bar top to re-open the Great Room for the weekend. As of 4:00 PM the top was dry and the bar was being restocked. Next week, Mary will probably put a couple more coats of poly on the bar to finish the job, but the inn is ready to receive weekend guests as planned.

I posted the last snow stake picture of the 2008/2009 winter season, barring a multi-foot freak snow storm. While the ground around the inn has been bare of snow for several weeks, the Killington Ski Resort is still going strong. Just yesterday, while the inn was experiencing a cold rain, the mountain got around 3 inches of new snow. Chef Frizzie was on the hill this morning taking his runs. He described conditions as "Great spring skiing".

This weekend, the resort plans on having 3 lifts running, including the K1 Gondola, Superstar Quad, and the Canyon Quad. Temps are forecasted to be quite warm. If it weren't for my shoulder, I would probably be taking a few turns on the snow. I will probably be hunting for shorts in the summer clothes pile instead.

If you are out on the hill this weekend, or chasing a little white ball somewhere, don't forget your sun screen.
