-

On the Slopes
With 190 trails to choose from, many of which are covered by a powerful snowmaking system, there is something for everyone at Killington. Snowshed provides one of the northeast’s best beginner zones and progression on the longer greens at Ramshead is excellent. Keen intermediates will be able to ski the entire area, with laps on the Snowdon Express 6-pack recommended along with a quiet cruise down Solitude off the back of the summit.
Fans of park skiing or riding are incredibly well catered for here. There is an 18 foot superpipe over at Bear Mountain and six terrain parks – which when open are home to an astonishing 150 features. Those keener to stick to the pistes will love the long blacks below the K-1 Express Gondola and the Superstar trail below the chair of the same name – which hosts annual World Cup races each December. The off piste is relatively limited, but after fresh snowfall, the gladed runs and trees become a fun powder playground.
In the Resort
Accommodation on the hill can be found at the Snowshed base, but also across at Sunrise where ski-in-ski-out condos are the order of the day. There are however few restaurants and bars to visit – it can be very quiet in the week in particular as many of the visitors come up from Boston or New York at the weekends.
Most people come and stay in condos or in lodges and B&Bs on the 5km access road up to the ski area from Highway 4. This is also where numerous restaurants and bars can be found. A bus service runs frequently to connect these locations, but having a car certainly makes getting around easier.
Getting to Killington
Boston is the closest major international hub at around three hours away from the slopes. To help get over the jetlag we’d recommend staying here for a couple of days and exploring one of the east coast’s most vibrant cities. New York is another option, but the drive is over four hours.
Amtrak serves nearby Rutland via the Ethan Allen Express – trains are once a day and take roughly 5 1/2hrs to make the trip to or from New York’s Penn Station (Moynihan Train Hall), so aren’t for those rushing to make a flight, but offer a scenic and relaxing alternative to driving. Transfers from Rutland are c.20mins on public busses.
- Boston airport: 3 hours
- New York airport: 4.5 hours
- By train: 5.5hrs from New York via Amtrak
