Ski Killington Mountain Resort in Vermont

The Best East Coast Ski Resort

Seven mountains, thirty lifts, and an average annual snowfall of two hundred and fifty inches make Killington Mountain Resort a top ski destination of the East Coast. The large majority of East Coast ski resorts are on the small side in terms of skiable area. Killington easily doubles any neighboring ski resorts and those of the eastern United States. For the 2009 season, there is a brand new Skye Peak Express Quad lift and "The Stash", an organic terrain park created by Burton.

Skiing For All Skill Levels

Every skier and snowboarder knows that staying within your skill level is important. With 39% expert, 33% moderate, and 28% easy, Killington offers trails for all skill levels. If you are a little more adventurous, try one of their six terrain parks throughout the resort. Also, is you are a new skier or if you have small children with you, Killington has an entire mountain (Ramshead) dedicated to those that are still learning or touching up their skills. Professional private lesson are available at the ski and snowboard school. Some people can use all the help they can get so make sure to sign up at the bottom of the mountain.

6 Terrain Parks

Whether you are into rails, kickers, or pipes, Killington has six terrain parks to satisfy your needs. Not afraid of heights and want to go huge? Head over to the four hundred and thirty foot Superpipe featuring eighteen foot walls. Need to learn basic terrain park skills? Small kickers and more are ready for you at Timberline Park. Just remember to stay within your skill boundaries, don't invert yourself, and respect gets respect. If you are new to terrain parks, start with small kickers and move up progressively when you are ready. It is no fun when you end up being strapped to a rescue board by ski patrol. Inverted aerials are prohibited at Killington Mountain Resort so be sure not to try any back flips. Also, when you reach a terrain park, don't blast through it without stopping at the beginning. Stop at the start of the terrain park and let anyone that has been waiting go first.
