It was only two months ago, on June 2, that Killington’s ski season ended,” says Herwig Demschar, chair of Killington’s World Cup Local Organizing Committee. “Now, were talking about snowmaking as the resort prepares the Superstar course for another World Cup. Guests joining us for the World Cup weekend will experience Killington as they never have before with world-class racing, live music, autograph signings, fireworks and more – creating a weekend in the mountains not to be missed.”
