Bill and Mary on Sky Peak

The Weather Channel has predicted a Severe Photon Storm for the Killington region for the next couple of days. Heavy photon bombardment is currently taking place on Killington Peak and the surrounding mountains of the Killington-Pico Ski Resort.

Local residents are advised to seek higher ground equipped with skis or snow boards to foster swift movement through the storm. The Killington Ski Resort is running their ski lifts to accommodate those trying to reach Killington Peak, Sky Peak, and Bear Mountain. The resort plans to run their lifts on Pico Mountain over the weekend to further expedite travel to higher elevations to help people weather the photon storm.

To foster production of Vitamin D, people going outdoors are advised to wear light clothing. Water for hydration is also recommended, as travel on skis around the mountains in this weather will cause heavy perspiration. It is recommended for those who must stay indoors during the photon storm to open all their windows to prevent their homes from overheating during the increased photonic activity.

For those of you who can escape to higher elevations, be advised that photon activity will strike from above from the sun, and below with reflection off of the snow covered ground. Be advised that snow conditions at Bear Mountain are becoming soft, in places resembling a corn soup. Photon activity on Sky Peak has made Dream Maker soft and creamy. Soft bumps are developing on all steeper terrain as the photons work to create a phase change in the snow.

Photon activity is extremely high on Killington Peak. Cascade is delightfully soft. Highline, under full photon attack, is like a giant soft serve ice cream cone...so delicious you just want more and more and more.

Those who plan to ride out the storm at higher elevations are advised to review their stores of Zinc Oxide or other photon absorbing products. Failure to do so could result in severe goggle tans or worse as the photon storm reaches it's full fury.

......Happy April 1st!
