Please do not let this be a sign for the winter weather! https://vtdigger.org/2021/10/15/mou...il&utm_term=0_dc3c5486db-39160780f4-406152166
First frost last night, finally! And Killington apparently has managed at least one night of snowmaking. Winter is coming….
Possibly. If they have made enough, the rain might soak in and "consolidate the base." Or so I've been told. I just looked at the webcam tonight (8:07 pm Eastern), and there are a row of lights on Superstar that look suspiciously like snowcats traveling in formation.Unfortunately it seems that was in vain since it’ll be gone with the upcoming rain warmup :(

Those first-in-the-fall skiers will do anything! So, it's not snowcats after all. It was fun to think so for a little while.
I’ve always been tempted to do something like that, but the temptation is vastly outweighed by the fear of tearing my ACL or whatever!!They sure will! I can’t imagine making those turns for day 1, I’m sure something bad would happen. Lol
I’m committed to not freaking out about the weather until snowmaking gets delayed more than a few days after its scheduled start date. Deep breaths.

It’s also super hard to snowboard on thin cover and I definitely don’t have the skills to be confident on skis in sketchy conditions!Same! Also, I always feel a little weird on my first run or two of the season, like I have to learn how to turn again and make my head shut off haha. So I'd rather not have such rugged conditions to start that in.

Nice to see a flake or two of snow! I am more worried today about what the wind may do here overnight. My boat is still in the water and on the dock. This week of bad weather is not helping that process in the least!
