Late last week the Killington Resort announced a major concert event for the end of March to coincide with their "Nor'Beaster" promotion. The resort announced that they were set to host the SnowMont Music Festival, a three-day music festival March 30-April 1, 2012. Featured musicians mentioned in the announcement include Snoop Dogg, Chromeo and DJ Shadow, with additional musicians to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Besides the three-day music festival, the "Nor'Beaster" event will also include the Winter Tweed River Music Festival at Pico Mountain March 23-25, K-Town Showdown Rail Jam March 24, Air, Metal and Mayhem April 1, community events and more.

Around the mountain, Mary and I took some time off on Valentines Day for a few hours on the slopes. While in the absence of a major winter storm conditions have remained relatively the same for some time now, the resort is clearly working to stockpile large quantities of man-made snow at strategic locations as they prepare for Presidents Week. Large whales of snow were spaced along Skylark, Superstar and Cascade. In addition to the top of Superstar, large amounts of snow are also stockpiled at the top of the Snowdon Quad and in the area around the Double Dipper Quad and North Ridge Triple near Killington Peak. There is a lot of skiing and riding still to be had this season at Killington.

Let it snow!!!
