An overcast Killington Peak awaiting the approaching storm

Just when you through it was safe to reserve your spring tee times at Green Mountain National Golf Course, Mother Nature has decided to give the Killington Resort a Leap Year gift.

A winter storm warning has been posted for Vermont. The first elements of the storm are already entering the area with high overcast and occasional snow flurries. Currently, the National Weather Service is predicting 6 to 12 inches of snow in Killington spread fairly equally between tonight and tomorrow. Usually, based upon past history, snow fall totals on the upper elevations of the mountain tend to trend to the higher amounts.

Ahead of the storm, we had guests arriving last night as late as ~3:00AM to position themselves to take advantage of the advancing powder. Ski house friends have also called to tell us that they are in motion this afternoon; heading to their ski houses in Killington to seek out the pow on Thursday. Bookings at the inn have also followed suit, with just 1 room left available for the coming weekend as I write this blog. It looks like this years poor to date snow fall has created strong pent-up demand in the North East ski community for some good skiing before calling the season to a premature close. With the second multi-inch snow storm predicted to hit the area in less than a week, it looks like Mother Nature has finally responded to the call.

And remember.... March is usually the snowiest month of the year in Killington!

Let it snow!!!
