2 feet of snow!

By Robin Alberti

Emery Mikula delights in the fresh snow in Killington.

Killington saw 16 inches of fresh snow Sunday, Feb. 4, for a total of 23 inches since last Thursday, plus another 12 inches is predicted to fall this Wednesday-Thursday. Punxsutawney Phil predicted another six weeks of winter when he came out of his burrow last Friday and saw his shadow, but here in Vermont, it’s shaping up to be much more than just six weeks. Feb. 7 marked Killington Resort’s 90th day operating, meaning the season has not even reached its halfway mark! (Typically, Killington is open for around 200 days each winter.)
