Early January update
I guess Snowvember spoiled us. Since then we've returned to typical early season East coast skiing. You know: thaw, freeze, thaw, freeze. But despite the challenging weather, we still logged some decent - if powder starved - days. Hopefully today's storm, currently up to nearly a foot of new snow at Killington, busts us out of December's pattern.

Killington, VT: 2018-12-01
By any measure November was a great month to be a skier. By the end of the month I had already logged 8 days of lift-served skiing – in most years I’d be lucky to have 2 or 3. Cold temperatures and nearly 5 feet of snowfall produced some of the best early season conditions I can remember. “Snovember” set the stage for a great day of skiing on December 1.

Saint-Sauveur, Quebec: 2018-11-11 and 11-12
I've always been fascinated by the string of ski areas that line Autoroute 15 north of Montreal. We'd usually pass by at night, on the way to Mont Tremblant, one hillside after another lit up for night skiing.

Killington, VT, Day 1: 10/19/2018
Well, that happened quick. The leaves are still on the trees and ski season is here. In our first year as Killington passholders, we couldn't pass up the chance to ski on Day One of the ski season.
