With the intermediate weather forecast calling for an extended period of great snowmaking weather, the Killington Resort has put their snow making system into overdrive. A serious push is underway from the top of Killington Peak all the way to the K1 Base Lodge to bring early season top to bottom skiing and riding to a fruition. Major snowmaking activities are visible up and down Great Northern through Bunny Buster to lay down a base of snow. With continuing cold temperatures and the pace of snowmaking taking place, a top to bottom trail from Killington Peak should be open any day now.

While the imminent start of top to bottom from Killington Peak is exciting, snowmaking operations elsewhere on the resort point to a rapid expansion of skiable terrain in a few days.

In a clear vote of confidence that favorable conditions for making snow will persist for a while, the Killington Resort has begun snowmaking operations on the top of Skye Peak.

Snowmaking operations are taking place at the top of the Superstar Chair along upper to Skye Lark leading towards Bittersweet. Significant snow is visible on Upper Skye Lark. The comparison between Upper Sky Lark and Skye Hawk is quite apparent, clearly indicating that the resorts snow makers have been busy on the top of Skye Peak.

Kudo's to the Killington Resort for taking advantage of weather conditions to make the push for top to bottom skiing and riding before Thanksgiving. Mother Nature is cooperating by giving us cold temperatures. Now if she could give us a little more help with maybe a snow storm or two... that would really seal the deal.

Let it snow!
