And we're off and skiing in Vermont!

Killington ski resort opened for the ski season on Sunday, November 2. The Big K ski conditions page reports that they have two lifts, seven trails and three miles of skiing—all for the low price of $65 (gulp!). Skiers are accessing this terrain via the K-1 Gondola.
As you can see from this Killington photo, Sunday was a gorgeous blue sky kind of day all around the state. The Skimeister and I went for a hike near Bolton Valley Resort in the mid-afternoon, which felt like a late-afternoon hike because of daylight savings time.
We came across a thinly iced-over beaver pond, some puddles of snow left over from last week, and a few fresh icicles hanging off a rock cliff. In a couple of places on the Long Trail we crunched through some snow that had been covered up by the many fallen leaves. Just a taste of what's to come!

It's awesome to see that places in Vermont are finally opening for the season! Another place that is slated to open soon in VT is Okemo. Just saw on the site that their predicted opening is the 15th! It makes me so happy to see that winter is finally arriving and I will be able to get out on the slopes soo soon!
