Killington Base Lodge with Killington Peak obscured in a snow squall

First off, Mary and I hope all of you are having a nice Thanksgiving weekend. We had a great crowd over for the holiday. Based upon the number of belt buckles that got loosened, "The Turkey" was not the only thing that got stuffed yesterday....

Turning back to the resort, Black Friday really started off black. An early morning ice storm laid down a carpet of black ice all across the area causing some minor headaches for people traveling in Killington; and a slight delay in opening the resort. By 10 AM this morning, most things were back to normal and as I write this at 1:00 PM, the sun is shining with blue sky outside my office window at the inn.

Snow squalls are the order of the day on the mountain peaks around Killington. The Killington Peak cloud is doing it best to drop some of the white stuff on the resort. Nothing major, mind you, but it is white versus r@!n or ice...

The resort has some minor expansion of terrain the last couple of days with the addition of Chute, the Snowshed Learn to Ski area, and the Snow Play Park on Rams Head. Snowmaking was continuing yesterday on East Fall, which will probably be the next significant trail to open, once the resort repairs any damage from this morning ice event.

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend watching football games or shopping, if you can't make your way up to Killington...Let it snow!
