Killington Resort Closes Due to Ice Storm, Power Outage

Killington Resort, Vermont's largest ski area, was forced to close over the weekend due to a power outage and safety concerns stemming from a powerful ice storm that impacted the region. The resort announced on Facebook that access was limited to East Mountain Road, and ongoing issues included falling trees and refreezing trails, creating unsafe conditions for guests and staff. It plans to reopen on Monday, although some areas remain inaccessible due to downed trees and power lines. The subsequent damage from the ice storm left around 10,000 customers without power in Vermont, with an additional 5,000 affected in New Hampshire. As conditions improve, the resort is working to restore operations, with expectations of soft and enjoyable surfaces for skiers once it reopens. Updates from the resort will continue as repairs are made and conditions change.
