Snow making operations have begun on Killington Peak

Snow making operations have begun on Killington Peak

Sometimes winter seasons have false starts, so maintaining a modicum of composure is always a wise move. But I am excited about the near term arrival of the ski season. If I am ready... that's another story..

Start with the obvious.... the season's pass to Killington... Been there... done that... picked it up last week. That's of the list.

Around the inn...

Winter marketing programs in good shape. Transitioned our main website birchridge.com and mobile m.birchridge.com to winter.

Loaded all the winter season data into birchridge.com's Ski Package Calculator. Birch Ridge's proprietary ski package calculator will compute the cost of any ski package at the Birch Ridge Inn, taking advantage of all of the Killington Resorts' various ski ticket discount programs. It is a great place to start to plan your Killington winter ski vacation at the Birch Ridge Inn.

Birch Ridge Inn wifi network redesign completed. Waiting for last fall foliage guests to depart the inn this weekend before implementing. Our guests wifi demands have increased every year (and since I came out of the computer networking business, it is a fun personal project to keep my skills sharp.)

Improvements finished to Audio system in restaurant and Audio/Video system in the Great Room. Another fun project completed.

Wine show season underway. Attended a distributors fall show this week. Another one planned for next week. Making selections to add to the Inn's wine list for winter. How can you not have fun sampling wine all afternoon...

Outside yardwork... let's not talk about that one... still needs work.

Ski equipment... Clothing, boots, ski's, etc to be brought out of storage imminently.

Golf clubs... still in the car...

With the winter season just around the corner, there is still plenty of twig season work to finish.. Now if ski season begins before the twig season work is completed... so it goes..

Let it snow!
