Word on the street is that Killington is gonna be open this weekend. My friend was at a Rome clinic and some rep there told him that Killy was gonna open just for this weekend and then close and make more snow for a bit and open again. I don't know if its true but i hope it is. If it is hopefully ill see some of you cats there.

I hear the 4th and also the 9th, and it all depends on weather in the end. so it may or may not be open this weekend.

I skiied killington today, I hiked up snowdon a bit and skied chute. Its still a bit thin on the lower elivations but word is its good up top i just ran out of daylight and was forced to come down before heading over into the glades (north ridge area).  As far as i could tell they didnt have the guns on today but they are definatly ready to go.

Update:  I made it up to the glades area today (area which killington opens first)  The natural snow was acctually very nice, west glade had a consitant band of drifted 12+ inch deep snow.  As far as making snow they have not made any.  They were working today in the glades turning each gun on and off and getting ready.  The temps are still to high to make snow hopefully they will begin to fall.  I dont think they will have any problem laying down enough snow in the glades (north ridge) to open this weekend.  But they claim to be opening with top to bottom terain so they may run into some temerature issues at lower elivations.  Hopefully everything works out.  But if they dont open and we pick up some more natural snow I have no problem earning my turns again.
