Mary on Chute on Snowdon mountain at Killington.

They can be very rare, but today was a pure December powder day at Killington. The snowfall was not waist deep powder like storms can deliver in February or March. No, instead was a pure 6 inches of super light, fluffy, bright white, soft snow delivered to the mountain by a passing artic cold front. It was the perfect amount to cover the months of man-made snow the resort has been laying down to get the winter started. When balanced with the snow the resort received earlier in the week, Killington is now looking at most of it's terrain being covered in up to 20 inches of natural snow.

With snow making continuing on many un-opened trails, expect a lot of ropes to be dropping across the resort in the next several days as operations switches from trail maintenance to trail expansion.

Where ever you may be, get out and enjoy the early winter season. And remember...Let It Snow!
