Killington Marketing said:KILLINGTON, Vermont — The earliest winter storm in more than 20 years dumped more than a foot of new snow at Killington Resort overnight and the forecast is calling for more.
"Winter has arrived and this is only a taste of what we'll see when we open for the season with top to bottom skiing and snowboarding on Nov. 11th," said Nick Polumbus, brand manager for Killington Resort.
More than 300 snow guns are ready to fire on Rime, Reason and Great Northern trails as temperatures and more snow are expected to drop this week when another low pressure system combines with moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Wilma.
"This was a bit of a shock to a lot of folks to see a winter storm this early in the season, especially considering the warm weather we have had this fall," said Eye on the Sky meteorologist Steve Maleski with the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, Vt., "… and there is also another chance for more snow Tuesday night into Wednesday."
According to Maleski, Sunday's snowstorm was the largest since October of 1982 when up to 18 inches of snow fell throughout Vermont.
Killington Resort averages 250 inches of snow each season, complemented by the world's largest snowmaking system covering 750 acres of the resort's 1,209 acres of total skiable terrain.

Powderhound21 said:Ok. Good to see trailboss.
Most natives here say that they try to have the best opening day coditions as possible. That must be why they wait- so they can get a good base and T2B.
But with that, at the cost of a little hikink, you will most likely be able to get some pre-opening turns in.
But good to see someone embracing the window of opportunity in opening ASAP.
Riiiiiiight.... just like they were supposed to start making snow on 9/29 and again on 10/20, right? :roll: No offense, but your credibility on these matters is pretty weak and it doesn't benefit anybody to start such rumors without any facts at all. Your "predictions" to date have been simply speculation, at best. Trust me, if Killington plans to open ahead of the November 11 date (anything is possible), they are not going to be keeping it a secret. I will be among the first to know and you all will get early word right here.Joshua said:ITS ON, SEE YOU ALL AT KILLINGTON ON THURSDAY WHEN THEY OPEN
