Cold weather descends upon Killington.

Cold weather descends upon Killington.

Don't...no way...do not...jinx it.

Killington was blessed by Mother Nature last night by a shot of well needed frigid air. The Killington Resort responded in knd by creating a man-made blizzard across the Killington Basin region of the resort.

Snow making operations were observed on Skylark, at the top of Sky Peak, at the top of Killington Peak, on Great Northern, Rime, Reason, Bunny Buster, and Chute. Snow guns were also seen operating on Caper and Vale to continue the connection of Rams Head Mountain into the resort. Snow making was also taking place at the learning slope on Snow Shed.

This initial burst of snow making has been focused heavily on resurfacing operations to recover the resort from the unusually warm and wet Christmas weather. The Resort has been taking extraordinary measures to harvest snow from various nooks and crannies around the resort to be able to continue to provide top to bottom skiing and riding during this unusual El Nino early winter. All eyes are now focused on the weather maps to the west of Killington as Mother Nature prepares her next weather event for the region.

And no...no way... I will not make any further comments on what Mother Nature may have in store. I will not jinx it.... but I did visit Goodro's Lumber this morning and purchase a shiny new snow shovel and 100 lbs of snow melt.

Where ever you may be, dance hard, fast, and long for snow up here in ski country. Think Snow!
