Still mid winter on Killington Peak

Still mid winter on Killington Peak

Thank you to all of the guests who visited with us this season in Killington. The innkeepers and the staff are truely grateful for all of the support and encouragement we have been shown throughout the winter.

And what a winter it has been.

Winter is still going strong on Killington Peak. Skiing today, based upon my personal experiences this morning, was typical for mid February.... with the exception being that fewer lifts were operating due to the reduced number of skiers and riders visiting Killington at this time of year.

Surfaces off Killington Peak from the K1 Gondola, and off Skye Peak from the Superstar Express Quad were primarily frozen machine groomed granular with a nice top layer of fresh snow. Snow has been falling at Killington Peak all week, and the forecast calls for more this weekend. The ski season lasting into June is being openly talked about by Killington Resort management... and the snow is on the ground to get them there barring some major disruption of Mother Nature.

Around the inn we will be closing after this weekend to perform our normal spring repairs. Our restaurant closed for the season last weekend. Food and beverage staff have been in all week deep cleaning the kitchen to close out the season. The same has already started with some rooms of the inn this week, with it accellerating next week when we close for lodging for the season.

The inn will re-open for lodging on Friday May 22, just before Memorial day. The restaurant will re-open for the summer season in late June on June 25th. In the interim, if you are planning your summer vacation or your fall foliage visit and you would like to make reservations with us for either the inn or restarant, you can always go online to birchridge.com or call the inn directly at 800.435.8566. We would be happy to accomodate you.

To all of our friends and acquaintences - Thank You for a great season!

And over the next couple of months, whether you are on snow, water, or chasing the little white ball down a green fairway somewhere..... don't forget your sunscreen!.
