Beautiful picture of Killington

Post by tyrolean_skier »

Someone posted this picture on Facebook. They said it was taken last year. Credit for the picture goes to Wiggie Sherry Wells.

I thought it was so nice that I would post it here:

Can't put a price on that in terms of tourist dollars.

The question that comes to mind is how many wayward souls will need to be rescued from our backcountry this year?

That's what I thought also. Looks like the backside of Pico from somewhere in Shrewsburry. Maybe near Shrewsbury Peak. :like

Looks like the view from the Mendon area, coming up from Rutland on Rt 4...

I don't think that's Pico either. Doesn't look like the tower up top......

Look at the edge of the ridge line with all the fall colors. To me, it looks like it was pasted on top of another photo?

I thought the same thing about it being photoshopped together. If the colors were that bright at the bottom you would still definitely see some of the colorful trees under the snow up top. I have a bunch of older pics I took at K in the fall with snow up top. I'll see if I can find one later and scan it. I don't think I have any on my work computer...

I think the picture is real, but I don't think the mountain is in New England. I've never seen the towers on the top. The towers are pretty unique. It must be from out west.

Edit: from Pictures from MH and Reno looks like I'm wrong. Killington after all.
