Birch Ridge Inn draped in early morning snow.

Killington skiers and riders were having their Christmas wishes answered early today as the area has been blanketed in a coating of snow.

Generally from 2 to 4 inches has covered the area with slightly larger amounts being reported at higher elevations. Snow started falling across the area late last night and has continued sporadically all day.

Forecasters are calling for snow showers to linger in the area for the next several days as a winter cold front descends upon the area from Canada. Temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 20's, providing perfect conditions for Killington to re-fire their snow making system and expand skiable terrain across the resort.

With just 2 days left until Christmas, the snow fall across the region is a welcomed gift from Mother Nature. Now if we could only have a couple of feet or more before heading into the new year...or maybe I am asking too much...

Where ever you may be as we head into Christmas weekend, have a happy holiday.... Let it snow!
