(Killington, VT 8:00 PM) The first significant snow storm of the 2010/2011 winter season struck Killington today. Multiple inches of very light powder, atypical for an early season snow storm in the Green Mountains, has blanketed the area in a beautiful white coat.

At the Birch Ridge Inn, elevation 1850 feet, over six inches of snow is on the ground from this storm as of 8:00 PM. Light snow is continuing to fall. High winds are also blowing the snow into drifts in many of the usual places. Killington's Roaring Brook Valley, in the Killington Basin area, is roaring tonight with a combination of howling winds and the echo of snow guns continuing to make snow at the resort. With luck, the wind does not scour the snow off the ski trails to allow tomorrow to be declared a "Powder Day" in Killington.

Let it snow!
