Montpelier, VT – Ski resort operators in Vermont say that an unusually warm fall is unlikely to deter them to open in time for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Vermont resort operators are taking advantage of any opportunity to make snow. Mother Nature even kicked in this past weekend and Vermont woke to a few inches of natural fluff adorning their Green Mountains. The return to cold weather was enough to reopen Killington Resort, the only ski area presently operating in the Green Mountain State.
