Killington Fires up Guns!

[andyzee]

Killington testing guns! This just in from that other Zone:

"We turned on about 14 of the new Low Energey guns on Reason for a quick test around 10 a.m. this morning. Photos are up on the website. Wednesday night still looks good for snowmaking temps - then right through the weekend.

Just saw that! I wonder if they'll run them for a while. It's supposed to get warm tomorrow, but not blazing so I wonder is any little bit might help?!

This is sweet:

With that, I think we can confidently say that snowmaking will happen this week!

That was posted by Tom Horrocks, Communications Manager. He states that they are still planning on starting regular snow making on Wednesday. This was just a test, the pics do look sweet though! Saturday is sounding good for me

Some of the drifts were knee deep up there when we shot the photos. Look for video later this afternoon.

No worries. I deleted it for you. I've been a little jumpy since last week myself.

Communication is the key. Well said BigO

I think the biggest issue that we have had in the past few years with Killington is the lack of communication. Decisions are made, things happen, people disagree, and no one from the mountain has ever been accountable or answered the complaints. This is all positive news....so far so good. Its nice to see someone listening...
