Before and after pictures of the Killington Resort

In the run up to the Christmas holidays, the Killington Resort dodged a bullet last night weather-wise. Yesterdays warm temperatures and r@!n showers decimated what little natural snow there was around town, but continuous snowmaking operations at the resort the last week appeared to have paid off.

Before and after pictures of the resort show that skiing and riding is still fully underway on a mix of beginner, intermediate, and expert terrain. From Snowdon to Snowshed, it looks like the resorts snow making plan from the last several weeks was enough to establish a stable base for skiing and riding over the upcoming holidays.

Temperatures in Killington today are slowly dropping, allowing any residual water in the snow pack some time to drain out before the onset of freezing temperatures this evening. Various weather services are predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow overnight. When combined with the snow that will be made by Killington's snow makers, one would expect that the terrain Killington has worked so hard to open over the last couple of weeks should be refreshed and ready to go for Christmas weekend. The current forecast calls for below freezing temperatures for the next week, which the resort should be able to put to good use to continue to make new snow.

Let it snow!
