200 inches and counting

Staff Report

The ski season is shaping up to a record year locally and across the East Coast. At 204 inches, Killington Resort, is on pace to have its largest season total since 2006-07. It has received more snow than Vail, thus far. Tuesday marked the 97th operating day at Killington, which means the season is just about half over. 

The season started with a huge storm on Thanksgiving that dropped nearly 2 feet of snow just before the FIS World Cup races. 

While there was a rain/thaw just before the New Year, it hasn’t rained at higher elevations since.

Perhaps most notable is the consistency: Every week at least 4-6 inches of new snow has fallen keeping the slopes fresh. This past weekend’s storm added 11 inches, with 21 inches total over seven days, according to Killington Resort.
