The resort is in great shape, even though we have not had a significant snow storm all season. And now r@!n...ugh...

If the weather forecasters are right, it will be in interesting 36 hours in Killington. The resort has prepared, making copious amounts of snow on every trail in an attempt to weather proof the mountain. It sounds like we will be able to see first hand if the resorts efforts are successful.

For the next day or so, the intense storm which has brought mudslides (and not the Kahlua kind) to the west coast will be transiting the area. High wind and flash flood warnings have been posted for Central Vermont. While they have a notoriously bad track record predicting these things in the mountains, the current forecasts call for 1 to 2 inches of NCP before a cold front behind the weather system puts the region back into the freezer.

So far, even with meager natural snow, we have around 14 inches of the white stuff at the snow stake at the inn. Stay tuned for Tuesdays reading to get a gauge on the impact of the storm

..........let it snow! Please!!!!
