Killington Peak - covered in snow, crowned in sunshine.

In what I hope will be the first of many spring skiing days this season, the mountains, the snow, and the sun all combined for a great morning on the slopes.

High, puffy, clouds dominated a beautiful blue sky as we skied all around the Killington Resort this morning. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 30's, all but guaranteeing that snow surfaces touched by the copious sunshine would delightfully soften up. With the exception of the lower Superstar headwall this morning, every trail we skied on delivered loads of soft snow just perfect for sweeping carving turns.

We visited every mountain area around the resort this morning. Each mountain delivered the goods. Smooth groomers were turning soft and creamy. Bump runs were tons of fun, with very little hard pack in the bump troughs on most trails. I enjoyed the bumps on Needles Eye under the Skyship, Old Superstar, Royal Flush, and Great Bear, just to name a few trails which got my attention today. And trails that were not groomed overnight, like Cascade, while not "bumped up" had nice little bumps all over the place calling out for a turn of two. Just a beautiful morning to be in Killington.

Let it snow!
