Fall colors have arrived at Killington

Fall colors have arrived at Killington

The Autumnal Equinox is upon us and the fall foliage around Killington is bearing it witness.

After an unseasonably warm day on Sunday, a cold front has swept through the area dropping temperatures in it's path. While it was too moist last night for a frost, the evening temperatures around Killington for the last few days did support frosts at higher elevations. Ground frost around the inn, at 1870 feet, has not yet occurred. But frost has been see at the tee tops around the inn, indicating that the frost line has been hanging around the 1900 foot level the last few days.

Foliage colors on the mountains around Killington are starting to develop nicely. The early maple trees are now showing fair to medium amounts of red in their leaves. When the sunlight hits them just right, you can also notice that the oak trees have started to rust, while the Birch trees are hinting yellow.

The color has a long way to go before it fully develops, but the process is clearly underway. From here on in, it is basically unstoppable, with more color expected to be showing in the foliage canopy every day for the next several weeks.

Hopefully you can get outside this fall to enjoy natures beauty pageant. Where ever you may be .. keep it in the fairway...and brush up on your club's local "Fall Leaf Rules" as you head off to the 1st tee.
