Known for its diverse terrain and party atmosphere, Killington Resort is sure to provide an all-around, top-notch winter vacation experience. Happy hour, fine dinning, a happening singles scene and even an on-mountain party atmosphere give the resort a top rated après-ski scene. Killington is nestled below Vermont's 2nd highest peak, stretches across seven mountains and has the highest lift-served skiable terrain in the state. It is huge compared to its neighboring counterparts, and as such certainly has terrain for every skill level and style. With the country's most extensive snowmaking system, Killington also boasts the longest ski season in the east.
The diverse runs at Killington Resort include wide-open groomed cruisers, narrow New England runs, moguls, steeps and trees. Killington has five main base areas that send skiers and riders up to seven different peaks, which sometimes can prove a bit confusing. Snowshed and Rams Head are clustered together next to Killington Base. Bear Mountain and Skyeship Base Station both come off of Route 4. For expert terrain, try the trails between Snowdon Mountain and Killington Peak, which offer double-diamond trails like Cascade, Double Dipper and Downdraft. Skye Peak is also a popular expert destination, with some of the steepest trails on the mountain – Superstar and Ovation. Intermediates will enjoy the Needle's Eye, a wide run located below the second part of the Skyeship gondola. Snowshed is a great area for first-timers, offering a gentle slope that serves as a segregated beginning area. For snowboarders and freeskiers, Killington offers terrain parks which include a 425-foot long superpipe, hits, rails, boxes, jumps and a quarterpipe. Pico Mountain, about a 10-minute drive away, has a terrain park with one rail and a few tabletops.
