Skiing or Golf???? or both!

Skiing or Golf???? or both!

With the announcement that the Green Mountain National Golf Course is open for the season, visitors and residents at Killington have the best of both worlds available to them from a recreation standpoint.

There are only a few times during the year where both golf and skiing are available at Killington at the same time. Usually, it occurs in the fall, while the golf courses are still open and the resort has started to make snow in the winter. In the spring, usually the golf courses in Killington are still in the process of shedding their winter coats while skiing is still the sport of choice.

While the resort stockpiled snow to support spring skiing and riding, this year, of course, Mother Nature did not provide us with any significant spring snow. As a result, the Green Mountain National Golf Course in Killington has been able to get their workers on the course to get it ready for play. Currently, the front nine is open. All 18 holes will be ready for the weekend, unless Mother Nature decides its time to throw a monkey wrench into the process.

I plan on getting my clubs out and taking a few hacks at the ball later this week. Where I was on the injured reserve list last golf season undergoing rotator cuff repair, my expectations are not too high... But, at least personally, its time to get back into the game.

Think Spring!
