Visitors to Killington, even though they were facing overcast skies, were treated to brilliant fall colors across the region. At roughly the 2000 foot level in the Killington Basin area, the maple trees are glowing red. Oak trees are well on their way as they change from from green to orange. Birch and Poplar trees are taking on yellow hues.

There is a lot going on in Killington this weekend. In addition to the beautiful fall colors, the Killington Brewfest was on tap today at the Snowshed Base Lodge. Official counts are not in, but mountain contacts were telling us that they were expecting 1500 to 2000 people to taste beers from breweries through out Vermont.

In addition to the Brewfest, many local ski shops have re-opened for the season with their traditional early season sales. This weekend and next weekends Columbus Day Holiday are traditionally the time to visit the local shops and capture the best deals of the year, as they get ready to crank up their seasons.

It won't be long now before falling leaves are replaced with falling flakes. Have a good weekend!
