Probably never made it to the trail report; e.g. Upper Wildfire, Upper Bear Claw, Dream maker. Harping on that kind of inconsistency is a bit silly.
It's usually worse than that. Last week it was Conditions stating snowmaking on on various trails such as Easy Street, yet the trails were instead listed as open and groomed, with no snowmaking listed for said trails at all. And this was on Sunday....
They should be much more general in the "Conditions" if they are gonna write it the day before, and never change any info in it as the day goes on... Especially the " We expect for tomorrow's opening..." info that is still on there at 3pm the following day...
Multi Million Dollar operation right? This is a link to the public. You'd think it could be kept a bit more accurate.
And it's fixed. Poor bastard in charge of it probably got two dozen emails from Killington staff that read about this important issue on Kzone. Don't they have anything better to do?
Rte 4 from K to 89 is very icy. Be careful! 89 south is still fine (I'd expect it to deteriorate as temps fall). Doria driving, so yeah, I have nothing better to do.
Although I'm not at 2200' (closer to 1000' in W. Bridgewater), snowing here with about 3" so far.

Looks like its going down no matter what I do !!!
Let me amend that. It was snowing in the Vale lot where I was sitting for a moment before heading home. By the time I got down to the Basin it was starting to change over to r*in but then, as I approached Route 4, it was snowing again. Looks like it's going to be a mixed bag at least for a while.
And, just to round out the comments, now that I'm home, the pass was snow covered and a car was in the ditch on the right past Inn at Long Trail. I could also see a pickup pulling out from Brad Mead Drive fishtailing onto Route 4. Be careful out there.
