KILLINGTON — Sunday, Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, marked 100 days of skiing and riding for the 2015/2016 season at a Killington. Don McNeil a.k.a. “ShortSki” achieved the milestone of being the first to reach 100 days of skiing out of 100 days of operation.

On Sunday, to mark the milestone, he and friends skied 10,000 vertical or 17 miles. Not bad considering it was -18 when the group started and still -5 when done.

Please join us in congratulating the “legend” on perfect attendance. Last year, “Shortski” achieved 192 days of skiing out of 192 days of operations at Killington. He is committed to continuing his winning streak!
