We're ready. Are you???

We're ready. Are you???

Hopefully this is not a plot by the Wisconsin and California dairy farmers to empty the shelves of milk on the East Coast.

The incessant hype of the coming storm, arriving 35 years after the historic "Blizzard of 78" is a little numbing. But forecast numbers from the National Weather Service have been consistently calling for over a foot of new snow to fall in Killington (or 18 inches to 2 feet if you shop your forecast to the correct web site). It should be a great weekend to ski!

Currently in Killington we are overcast and cold, waiting the storm. Snow is predicted to start falling this evening, well after midnight, and continue thru Saturday Morning. Being a coastal storm, we will see some back up of moisture into the mountains, making the total prediction for snow fall at the Killington Resort somewhat tricky.

Our weekend guests, meanwhile, seem to be genuinely excited about being able to visit the resort during a fresh dumping. Several, whose companies have already declared tomorrow to be a "snow day" have made arrangements to arrive this evening and enjoy the falling snow on Friday. Many others have called with plans to leave at first light on Friday morning, with the hope of arriving at Killington before the brunt of the storm hits the area on Friday evening. What ever the strategy, Mary and I feel great that our guests share our excitement about skiing in fresh snow at the resort, and that they are making appropriate plans to arrive to take advantage of it.

Wherever you may be, we hope that you stay safe and get a chance to enjoy the winter wonderland that Mother Nature will be throwing at the Northeast. Keep your snow dances going, and point your feet towards Killington!

Let it snow!
