Enough said.

The Noreaster is still spinning to the south of us, roughly over New York City. Late last night, snow fall was interspersed with r@!n and very high winds, creating quite the mess in the morning.

The resort had a very hard go of it. Blowing and drifting snow were clogging many spaces. At 8:45 when I arrived at the K1 Base Lodge, the only lift that was turning in anticipation of being open was an old double chair lift on Snow Shed. High winds had closed the K1 off Killington Peak. A power failure had everything from the Super Star quad to Bear Mountain closed. Lift attendants were cleaning the Snowdon and Rams Head quads to try to get them ready to go.

We held at the K1 base lodge till around 9:45 waiting to see if the situation improved. Rams Head did open, but the Snowdon Quad was still on wind hold, so we decided to make it a Johnny Boys day. After a short ride down the Killington Road, I had the celebrated "Johnny Boy" as my breakfast choice. (Basically Eggs Benedict with a Jalepeno cheese sauce instead of Hollandaise.)

After breakfast, I drove back to the mountain. By now the Snowdon and Rams Head Quads were loading, but everything else was at a standstill. We made the right choice.

The rest of the afternoon was very productive for me, in a perverse sort of way. I spent the whole afternoon on the roof of the inn, moving 3 feet of snow. It's a Vermont chore that you have to do. Especially if you want more snow to fall the next couple of months....

.....let it snow!
