Carrying ladder after inspecting the roof

Spring has descended in earnest upon Killington. With temperatures the last 2 days cracking the mid 50's, the snow has all but evaporated from around the inn, leaving soft, muddy, goo where ever you walk that is not covered in asphalt or concrete. Needless to say, the Snow Stake is now reset to zero. While another snow storm this time of year is not out of the question, having it stay around for any significant times at lower altitudes is problematic.

Today has been a solid work day around the inn. The chef is continuing the annual tear down the kitchen. Mary has started to get the bug to work in the gardens. She started to clear off some of the winter debris from some of them. I was on roof inspection and repair today. We have a rather large flat roof over part of the inn that always needs some maintenance to repair split seams, etc. So, with the warmth of today being pleasant but not unbearable, it seemed like a good day to be on the roof.

Skiing and Riding is continuing at Killington this weekend. The resort has scheduled, as conditions permit, the Superstar and Canyon Quads for the weekend, in addition to the K1 Gondola and the North Ridge Triple. Lifts will be running from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM to take advantage of day light savings time.

This weekend features the perennial spring favorite "Pond Skimming" at the base of Superstar with live reggae music kicking of at 2:00 PM on Saturday. And, of course, the Umbrella Bars at the base of Superstar will be open serving you favorite spring skiing libations.

Golf season is fast approaching. I hope you have your clubs out...
