“Thanks to the fresh snow we received today, Killington Resort will continue to have the most open terrain in New England over the holiday weekend,” stated Patricia Ryan, director of sales and marketing for Killington Resort, “and the forecast is calling for cold weather and snow flurries throughout the next five days, which are ideal skiing and riding conditions.”
