New range of youth size loaner skis, boots and poles have arrived, courtesy of a hugely generous grant from the Killington World Cup Foundation.

Expected trail conditions: Coming off a nice bite of winter over the weekend along with a little refresh of snow, the week ahead looks almost springy with some daytime highs above freezing. Nights will still be cold and we will undoubtedly have great skiing leading up to our second big event on the calendar, this weekend’s Eastern Cup Race. The Foxes will be closed during the weekend races. 

    -  Silver Fox Trail, North and South Loops: Machine made snow base and packed powder, groomed daily for skate and classic.  

    - Garipay/Golf Course: Groomed as and when needed for skate and classic. Wide open and nicely groomed with a stadium and learning area at Garipay. 

    - Upper Oak Hill Trails: Grooming will continue this week for classic and skate. Thinning spots under dense tree canopy but for the most part good coverage great skiing.
