Killington Peak covered in a snow squall

Killington Peak covered in a snow squall

Today was one of those days which helps separate the men from the boys. Although the sky was showing hints of sunshine, single digit temperatures with a 20 MPH wind at the peaks made for chilly time on the mountain.

My time at the mountain this morning was cut short as I had a meeting to attend at 10:30. But I did get 6 good runs in during the hour or so that I was at the resort.

My loop today took me from Killington Peak down Blue Heaven to Bear Trax to Bear Claw and lower Wild Fire. After a quick lift up the Skye Peak Quad, I took a trip through the Stash. That was followed by a run down Dream Maker; then Upper Skye Burst to Cruise Control; followed with a run down Skye Lark. I finished my quick excursion with a top to bottom run down Super Star.

All of the terrain today could be qualified as "flat and fast". There were a few areas where there were some deposits of wind blown powder, but for the most part all of the trails were firm in the well below freezing temperatures.

Snow coverage on the mountain today was excellent. The snow making of the last 2 weeks combined with the light snow flurries, which seem to be constantly falling, have left the resort with a great base for the rest of the ski season.

......let it snow!
