Posted December 29, 2011
Just in case you hadn’t heard, Killington received ten inches of new SNOW in the last 24 hours, giving us a total of 17 inches for the first official week of winter! It only gets better, more snow is in the forecast. Winter has officially arrived and our hardworking snowmakers have been out around the clock blanketing our trails in white across Killington Peak, Skye Peak, Ramshead Mountain, Snowdon Mountain and Bear Mountain. Plus, Bear Mountain opens on Saturday, Dec. 31 with skiing and riding on Skyeburst and Bearly!

Our snowmakers have been working overtime cranking out snow on five peaks (including Bear Mountain) all weekend long and it shows! We’re now skiing and riding on 20 miles of open trails for both beginners and pros. As the temperatures start to rise on Tuesday (sigh), we’ll give our snowmakers a brief break and enjoy making turns in soft snow Tuesday, December 27.
Operations Update for Dec. 26
Posted December 25, 2011
Hello Old Man Winter, thank you so much for hanging out at Killington Resort, we really appreciate the cold temperatures that you’ve been giving us. Especially because it allows our hardworking snowmakers to be out and about 24 hours a day blanketing our trails top-to-bottom in white! The more snow we make, the more trails we can open. So three cheers for the colder temperatures because we’re expecting to up our trail count to 50 trails (that’s at least ten new trails) this week and expand our snowmaking operations to include Cruise Control in Needle’s Eye area and Skyeburst at Bear Mountain. Be sure to check back often, it’s only going to get better from here.

Mother Nature is keeping the temperatures low and our snowmakers will be out and about making snow, snow - glorious snow across four of Killington’s peaks on Sunday. Plus, snowmaking will be spreading out on Ramshead and moving over to Needle’s Eye area and Bear Mountain, so stay tuned, more terrain is expected to open next week.
