  Don't waste your money at this place.

  I recently found this site, and I read what K Skier wrote. There is general agreement the new owners could have done a better job on a number of fronts.

  There is also agreement that this past season was one of the best we've had in a while. There are fewer skiers, and it means the slopes aren't crowded. We're getting a brand new lift this season, and we're hearing that the cross-overs are being reduced. This means more non-stop top to bottom skiing.

  Everything changes, and for now Killington continues to be one of the best resorts in all of New England.

  Agree with K skier. We've moved on to another great resort in Vermont.

  Killington is under new ownership as of last season and is suffering through significant changes that have resulted in a serious loss of quality skiing. Many lifts don't run midweek and most lodges are basically closed (bathrooms and tickets only). The season has been shortened from the expected 7 month season to a mere 5 month season ending in mid April. This means earlier trail closures in the spring and less snow making all winter long (since it doesn't have to last till June). Businesses on the access road are hurting for late season business and closing earlier and earlier. The once mighty nightlife is dwindling. Skier visits are now sub 500,000 a year down from a peak of 1.3 millionish just a few years ago. People are moving on to longer seasons with better skiing at other resorts in Vermont... We own property and are upset with the way the new owners are running the mountain. Season passes are up over 200% in the last couple years. We are ready to move on, but must sell the condo first. Beware, the once mighty Killington is no more.

  Great skiing, great snow and the accommodation was ok as were the restaurants and bars which line the Killington access road. The only way to have a night out is to either drive, catch a bus (which means standing in the freezing cold after a night out drinking/eating) or walking. I found the locals to be very friendly but some of the bar/restaurant owners particularly at the “famous” wobbly barn to be more interested in my money rather than looking after us. Avoid! I will be going again, I will go self catering and make sure I have a hire car.

  Killington is a huge area with 212 trails dropping down six distinct peaks and can hold one's interest for a week of skiing. It makes loads of snow and conditions generally are very good. However, the lower 1300 feet (or so) of Killington's much advertised 3,000 foot vertical can only be fully accessed from a long, easy, tedious trail or two; otherwsie its verticals from Skye and Killington peaks are a much more modest 1600-1750 feet, and less from the other summits. Also, accessing the trails from the top of Killington and Skye peaks can be confusing and Killington can get very crowded. I actually prefer skiing at its sister resort, Pico Peak, which has six wonderful trails winding down from its summit.

  Killington is the one for skiing and partying in central vermont. For those in the uk, wait until late january to come out to enjoy the mountain. This season (04/05), conditions didn't get right until February.
