There was sad news over the weekend from Killington, as the last snow patch on Superstar melted. The Vermont ski resort, whose late day of lift-serviced operations was on June 1st, announced on July 2nd that they had lost the final patch. We send our condolences to The Beast of the East during this challenging time.
For the last bit of snow, The Beast held a contest as to when the snow on Superstar would finally melt. Whoever guessed the date correctly will receive a GoPro Hero 10. Forty people ended up accurately predicting the July 1st melting date. They announced today that Philip M. secured the victory, with them picking the recipient randomly.
While we eagerly await the reopening of Killington this fall, they’ll have a variety of summer activities going on. Some of these activities include an extensive lift-serviced mountain biking network, hiking trails, an aerial adventure park, a mountain coaster, a ropes course, and riding the K-1 Gondola.
