Killington Closing Early...


Due to snow and trail conditions, we regret that the 16th Annual Killington Triathlon scheduled for May 13th has been cancelled for this year.
Killington Resort, which averages 250 inches of natural snowfall annually, has only received 191 inches of snow this season. In addition, Killington usually receives more than 60 inches of snow after March 1st and this season has only brought 24 inches – the lowest amount in the past 20 years.
The final day for skiing and snowboarding at Killington Resort this season will be Monday, May 1st conditions permitting.

Look the at trend for closing dates...

1997 is when they pretty much stopped bothering to go into mid-june for skiing. During the 1991-1992 season, kmart received a season total snowfall of 198" (only 7" more than the current season) but managed to stay open until June 14th. ouch!
So...this just goes to show you, it isn't global warming that is closing the ski area, it is lack of people and profit.

So, I heard that Kill will be closing early always now.

Also, In the '50's If you gave $1000. to Kill, you got a lifetime season pass. Now the new owners aren't honoring that. Sucks, but, it was a pretty good run.
