Snowmaking operations on going around Killington Resort

Sunny days and precipitation at night. Most people would be thrilled with that kind of weather pattern. However, earlier this week the material falling from the sky was of the non-crystaline form. Immature snow by another name. Not the best for a ski resort heading into the winter season. But the Killington Resort has barely skipped a beat.

Last week, in anticipation of a brief warm up this week, the resort let loose their snow making system to cover wide sections of terrain across the mountains. With so much terrain covered by so much snow, the resort has been able to provide good skiing and riding to early season visitors all week. And with the return of low temperatures last evening, the resort responded again with another round of aggressive snow making to resurface open terrain.

Killington knows snow making, and today saw the resort shrouded in a man-made blizzard. It is a lovely sight to see!

Generally this time of year, the Killington Resort continues snow making operations as long as favorable conditions for making snow persist. We have our fingers (and toes) crossed!.

Where ever you may be, keep cranking on your snow dances and aim them at Killington.

Let it snow!
