The humidity broke last week and brought us crisp nights and bright autumnal sunshine here in the Green Mountains, which really puts a spring in a skier's step. So let's start a Vermont thread to get thinking about what's exciting this coming season.
So far some of the big happenings are that Killington is building a new base lodge, Mt. Snow is on the Epic Pass, Stratton has gotten into the downhill mountain biking game, and Suicide Six, Bolton, and Magic are now on the Indy pass.
Exciting things are also happening at Ascutney, which will have a T-bar this winter, taking skiers to nearly mid-mountain. In addition to its tubing area and rope tow Ascutney Outdoors funds slope mowing each fall to keep the old ski trails open, so everything above mid-mountain is open for backcountry skiing. Be sure to check snow conditions before you go; there is no snowmaking at Ascutney.
We're only two months away from Killington making snow!
