Mary playing in the pow

Just in time.

Snow - beautiful snow - has descended across the Green Mountains of Killington. Iit does not matter that I have had to spend hours behind a snow blower, or lifting a shovel full. It does not matter that our snow plow guy's bucket loader is currently caput. It does not even matter that a pipe in the heating system burst the other day. What matters is that we have gotten lots of snow over the last week... and we have actually been able to get out an play in it.

In the snow storms of last Thursday and this past Monday we ventured out to play in the falling snow. While last week saw the storm only catch us with it's northern edge, this weeks storm was the real deal, dropping copious amounts of snow across the landscape. We really don't even need to talk about conditions on them mountain. They are just great.

While Monday we were skiing in fresh powder on each run, Tuesday we hit the groomers and the soft bumps. Or should I say we hit the soft bumps pretending to be groomers. Pretty much every where you turned you were greated with a soft pile of snow. It made for a fun couple of hours on the slopes.

Killington is now 100% open. The slopes, except in a few wind blown areas, are covered in feet of soft, natural snow. and the woods, obviously, have the goods. And with snow forecasted for today, tomorrow, and the weekend, we can expect conditions to get even better.

Where ever you may be, keep warm, think thoughts of skiing/riding, and let it snow!
