Killington Peak

Killington Peak

I just received this message (4:00 PM) from the Killington Resort through the Killington Chamber of Commerce:

Operational Update from Killington Resort for Saturday, April 14th:

We are pleased to announce the K-1 Express Gondola and the North Ridge Triple will operate Saturday, April 14 along with the Superstar Express Quad from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The trails on Killington Peak and in the North Ridge area are for advanced skiing and riding only on ungroomed terrain.

There is adequate snow coverage at the top of Killington Peak and in the North Ridge area, however, as you ski or ride down from the North Ridge area, 300 yards of walking will be necessary to return to the K-1 Express Gondola.

Lifts are scheduled to open at 10:00 a.m. with the last K-1 cabin at 4:30 p.m. Additionally, the K-1 Lodge will be fully open and the Roaring Brook Umbrella Bars, at the base of Superstar trail, are open daily from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Lift tickets will be $49 for Adults (19-64), $42 for Young Adults/Seniors (13-18/65 ) and $34 for Juniors.

--- Commentary ----

The Killington Resort is taking advantage of the late season snow we received early this week to re-open portions of the resort that were closed due to the summer like heat we received at the end of March. Kudo's to Killington for taking lemons and making lemonade!

In addition to skiing and riding off of the Superstar Quad, the resort will also be running the K1 Gondola and the North Ridge Triple. While skiing and riding is for advanced intermediates and experts only, I am sure that the skiers and riders will approve of Killington's effort to extend the ski season in the North East.

Let it snow..
