A Little Bit of Snow Last Night; A Lot of Football AND Skiing This Weekend Want in on a secret? Perhaps the best skiing weekend of the season will happen this weekend, on February 4th and 5th. Why? Lots of skiers who are avid football fans will abandon their winter sport passion and become couch potatoes, cheering on their favorite football team to win the Super Bowl. Fair enough, I guess, but for those of you who want great skiing conditions AND fewer than usual crowds on the slopes to contend with, the first weekend in February is tailor made for you. Generally speaking February and March bring us the best skiing days, and when you can have shorter lift lines and open trails, life is good! Add in some later season sunshine and Killington’s new and wildly popular umbrella bars with a perfect view of Superstar Trail and the valley vistas, and great memories are made. And for those who want to ski and experience the thrill of watching the Super Bowl as well, there are terrific Sunday afternoon/evening parties at many of Killington’s finest night spots with large screen tv’s galore. Now that is après ski with panache!

Location, location, location… How many times have you heard that in your life? 28 years ago, when Manfred and I were scouting out potential properties for us to start our brand new ski lodge venture, we were vaguely aware of the importance of location. When we found this little (and I mean little) vintage 1960 ski house just a mile from Snowshed, it seemed like a reasonable option to pursue. As the years went by, and our little ski lodge and our dream continued to grow, the primeness of our location really began to sink in. Talk about the best of both worlds. Just a 5 minute drive from the best skiing and riding in the East is only the beginning. Guests’ eyes light up when I tell them that they can easily walk to the Wobbly Barn, the Pickle Barrel, Casey’s Caboose, Charity’s, the Killington Market, Sushi Yoshi. And now right at the base of Miller Brook Road, just a stone’s throw from the inn is the newest addition to Killington’s prime off-mountain offerings -Liquid Art, a simply awesome coffee house/martini bar/art gallery/aquarium. It has very quickly captivated the imagination of Killington patrons and for good reason-it is absolutely cool! Add to all of that the fact that our proximity to these fine Killington establishments is enhanced by what we don’t have-namely traffic and its accompanying noise, as we are 550 feet off the Killington Road on a small dead end road. Does it get any better?
