Mary on East Fall (taken 3/23)

Mid winter conditions persist at the Killington Resort. Bright sunshine today is giving the appearance of spring, but the storm that went south of the area, blanketing New York with snow, has also dragged down some cool air from the north keeping temperatures in check.

Today was a work day around the inn (I know...it happens). Yesterday we did have a chance to get out around the resort. With light skier volume, and most lifts operating on their normal Wednesday schedule, it was a delightful day to be out on the snow. Everything at the resort was set up flat and fast, with a nice coating of machine groomed granular over most trails. Employees coming into work this afternoon are reporting that conditions were the same today; which one would expect given that todays cool temperatures are minimizing snow melt.

It should be a great weekend at Killington. On Saturday afternoon, the band moe. and special guest Ryan Montbeau Band will perform on the Swany Stage outdoors at the base of the resorts Bear Mountain lodge as part of Snoe.Down. moe will also be performing at the Spartan Arena in Rutland on Friday and Saturday night.

On Sunday, the New Haven, CT based funk rock band, Frank Viele and the Manahattan Project, will perform at the K-1 base lodge rounding out musical performances put on by the resort this weekend.

Spring is here at Killington....Don't forget your sun screen!
