2 turkeys on Thanksgiving means great sandwiches all weekend!

To all our friends, we hope you celebrated a nice Thanksgiving. We got our wish of a full table of friends to share the holiday with, combined with an early winter snow storm to lift everyones spirits. In a ski resort, thats about as good as it gets for Thanksgiving.

Speaking of snow, the storm on Wednesday covered the region in about a foot of moderately wet snow. There was some altitude variation. (We about 10 inches at the inn). But overall, the area looks fantastic in a blanket of white.

With everyone pushed back from their Thanksgiving tables, skier and riders who chose to avoid Black Friday are starting to come into the resort. They will be treated to a winter wonderland with packed powder snow surfaces and seasonably cool temperatures. The perfect start to winter.

The Birch Ridge Inn covered in the first significant snow of the 2014 season.

Skiers and riders who could not make the trek to Vermont this weekend, are also responding to the snow by booking thier winter ski trips to Killington. We are enjoying hearing from past guests as they call in, or email, to share Thanksgiving greetings and book their trips to Killington for the winter season. Thank you for your continued faith in us as innkeepers!

Where ever you may be, may the ski lifts be fast, the snow be copious, and if you are not skiing or riding but are out braving Black Friday crowds by shopping, may you find the perfect gift for the one you love.

Let it snow!
