Killington Peak in all its' glory.

Killington Peak in all its' glory.

On Sunday afternoon as I write this post, most of our Presidents week guests are making their final turns on the mountain, or on an interstate headed back home. With Killington offering all of its' terrain in great mid winter form, there will be many mid morning naps in offices around the east coast on Monday, as people recover from skiing and riding all day during their February get aways.

It was a great weekend to be at a ski resort. Beautiful weather, great snow, and the Winter Olympics as apres ski entertainment. Killington's own Chelsea Marshall got her shot at the Womens Super G yesterday. How many times during the year can you walk into any bar in America and see Curling on the television? Not to mention free style skiing, boarder cross, speed skating, and the superpipe.

This weekend was also "Jack Daniels" weekend in Killington. Chef Frizzie served up a beautiful seared venison medallion complemented with a red current, Jack Daniels demi-glaze. Merisa in the Great Room was also having fun preparing various Jack Daniels libations for guests. One of our fun guests who stayed at the inn this weekend was Lynne Tolley, great grand niece of Jack Daniels. Lynne was in Killington this week to judge sample dishes prepared for the Jack Daniels recipe competition taking place at restaurants around the resort. Lynne has been coming to Killington for 19 years to help celebrate Jack's legacy. When she is not traveling to promote Jack Daniels, she is the proprietress of "Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House Restaurant" in Lynchburg Tennessee.

Now that Presidents week is coming to a close, part two of winter at Killington is just beginning. March historically brings heavy snow fall to the mountains of Killington. Before moving to Killington year round, Mary and I would always plan on taking a week at Killington in March; usually one of the weeks around St. Patricks day (March 17th). We almost always found great snow, mild temperatures and warm sunshine (on days when it is not snowing). Of course, what this year will bring is anyones guess.

Mary and I should be able to get out on the slopes on Monday to air out our legs and give an update on conditions.

......let it snow!
