Killington Ski Resort, Vermont.
9” of fresh snow + snowmaking = Killington Open

Killington Ski Resort, “The Beast”, will open for business this weekend.  They got worked by Hurrican Irene, but they have recovered, gotten their snowmaking roaring, and 9” of the natural stuff yesterday didn’t hurt.

Sunday River will also be open this weekend.  They announced their opening 1 hour after Killington announced their opening dates today.

“It’s incredible to see how quickly Killington Resort and our surrounding communities have been restored after the damage brought by tropical storm Irene.  All roads leading in and out of Killington have all been repaired and we are proud to provide our guests with early season skiing and riding.” -Chris Nyberg, president/general manager of Killington Resort.
