In just a few short days, fall will officially arrive according to the calendar. At Killington, it is already here.

Last night brought heavy rains thru the area. They were the leading edge of a cold front which, while providing magnificent blue skies overhead, are keeping temperatures in the area in the low 50's.

Even though I am fiercely holding on to my summer shorts until the bitter end, blue jeans and fleeces are starting to make more than a casual appearance around town. Inn guests are starting to adapt. You may have noticed some motorcycles parked in front of the inn in the fall foliage picture of the day the last 2 days. All of the riders visited a local ski shop to purchase some winter thermal underwear this morning, before continuing on their way to points further north in Vermont.

In any regards, the seasons are changing. Summer is briskly moving into fall. A period of unmatched beauty with the pageant of fall colors is just about ready to descend across Vermont around the Green Mountains. And in Killington we have a ring-side seat!

Where ever you may be keep it in the fairway, and don't forget your sun screen!(and depending upon where your are, maybe pack a sweater!)
