Ode to February

February always holds special meaning for us, as it marks the start of another year of innkeeping . As we begin our 29^th year, I am inspired to reflect on all the previous winters we have experienced here in Killington and realize that each winter has had its own distinctive personality. Snowy winters, dry winters, warm ones and particularly cold ones, El Nina, El Nino, great economic times and lean times-so many variables combine to create a winter season. But one thing has remained very consistent, regardless of who is at the helm of Killington Resort, and this year is no exception: Killington always comes through with top of the line snowmaking and grooming. There is no doubt that the weather challenges have been enormous this year, but just look at the photo of the Killington Basin with all of its snow-covered trails-simply awesome! A local friend wrote an inspired blog last week about his (ultimately completely futile) search for blue ice all over the entire mountain, and his surprise at the superior quality of the skiing has been echoed by our guests here at the inn and certainly by Manfred, who took some great shots of fantastic conditions on Sunday. And the icing on the cake-blue skies, sunshine and temps in the 30’s forecast for the entire week. The word on the street may be that there is no snow in the mountains, but the word on the mountain tells an entirely different story. February marks not only the start of another year for us, but the start of the second and always better half of the ski season. Come on up and enjoy!
