Ski's in the car and ready to go.

it's still twig season. But....IT'S ALSO SKI SEASON!!!!!!

Snow makers have been busy at work making snow on the upper elevations of Killington peak. So much so, that the resort will "Officially Open" on Friday October 25th for the 2013-2014 ski season. Friday's opening, at 9:00 AM, will be for season pass holders only.

The general public is invited to enjoy skiing and riding at Killington starting on Saturday October 26th at 8:00 AM.

Skiing and riding will be limited to the upper terrain on Killington Peak in the North Ridge area. Skiers will be uploaded using the K1 Gondola. Hiking up the "Stairway to Heaven" at the top of the North Ridge chair will be required to get back to the K1 Gondola will be required to download from the top of the mountain.

The resort was going to "drop the ropes" early this afternoon in a flash opening for locals. Our assistant was heading out after completing her morning shift to take her first rides of the season. I plan on trying to be on the mountain tomorrow morning (assuming I can find all of my kit scattered around the inn).

With luck.. this will be the start of a long and "glorious" ski season.

Let it Snow!
