The party's over.. Let the new party begin!

Twig season , the denouement of summer, has arrived at Killington. Like Mud Season in the spring, when thoughts in Killington turn towards summer warmth and chasing little white balls down verdant fairways, Twig Season brings with it high hopes for the quick arrival of cold weather followed by copious amounts of snow. It all serves to tweak the souls of those of us who enjoy throwing ourselves down mountainsides in the cold New England winters.

Twig season is a time of reflection and preparation. We were fortunate this year to be able to play plenty of golf. We had a summer full of nice guests staying at the inn. We have a great team of employees to help us conduct the business of the inn in a professional manner. We have continued to work to improve the inn to better serve our guests going into the winter season.

Winter will be coming to Killington very soon. Daily I am asked "when will the ski season begin?"... or "When will it snow?" The answer is always with a measured amount of a wishful thinking "Tomorrow!" And it will be here soon enough.

"Twig Season" heralds a time of change. As the leaves of Killington hit the forest floor, we all know that soon a blanket of white will follow.

....And it will be glorious!

Let it snow!
