Snow Making taking place on Highline at Killington

Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!

There has been a decided shift in the weather pattern at Killington and the resort is attempting to capitalize on it. Temperatures leading into Saturday dropped below freezing, allowing the Killington Resort to restart snow making operations with a vengeance.

Even in the middle of a relatively busy Saturday, the resort continuously made snow on all open terrain. In addition, terrain expansion has begun. Snow making was visible on all of the trails on Snowdon, and on Highline back to the K1 base lodge.

Snow flurries have been in the air all day at Killington. Negligible accumulations were occurring until around 2PM this afternoon, at which point snow began to generally coat exposed surfaces. At 5:00 PM at the inn, snow has covered all grassy surfaces. Snow is also accumulating on aslphalt surfaces and on local roadways. The first night of snow (very late in the year) is usually interesting. Snow plows and sand truck are moving up and dawn the Killington Road (Yea!!!). it looks like winter has finally begun.

Christmas Tree Update: The Christmas Tree in the Great Room of the Birch Ridge Inn was officially unveiled last night to a nice crowd. The tree will be on display through the New Year. Stop in during your next visit to Killington.
