1. Killington Opens TOMORROW!
Killington Resort (VT) Open for Top-to-Bottom Skiing and Snowboarding this
Weekend at 8a.m.
This won't mean much to you readers who don't live in the Northeast US, but
it's big news for us! The snowboard season is ON, at least for this weekend!
Ahead of schedule!
Killington will open Saturday with 12 trails served by the K-1 Express
Gondola and the North Ridge Triple Chair. Hours of operations will be 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
"Thanks to 29 inches of snow this week and colder temperatures that have
allowed us the opportunity to crank up the world's largest snowmaking
system, we will be offering a quality top-to-bottom skiing and riding
product this weekend," said Dave Rathbun, vice president of brand management
for Killington Resort.
While portions of the mountain have been blessed with fantastic early-season
snow conditions, the lower third of the mountain required man-made snow to
complement the natural snowfall received this week to ensure a quality
surface. However, with the current weather forecast calling for a warming
trend early next week, Killington will cease operations after 4 p.m. Sunday.
"Our position is that Killington Resort will open when we can provide a
quality top-to-bottom experience," Rathbun added. "We are opening for
Saturday and Sunday because we can provide this quality experience. After
Sunday we are not as confident. We are setting appropriate expectations now
for our guests by announcing that we will close after operations cease
Sunday and that snowmaking will resume as soon as weather conditions
permit."
The K-1 Lodge will be open with limited services, including retail, rental,
food and guest services. The Season Pass Office will be open at the Snowshed
Lodge from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. all weekend.
Updates will be posted on
Killington.com.
