Looking for a skiing destination to take the whole family to? Look no further; the answer is Killington Peak. Killington Mountain, located in Rutland County, is the second biggest mountain in Vermont, reaching an astounding 4,236 feet and having up to 2,000 skiable acres. With 155 trails ranging from a beginner to advanced levels, there are 73 miles to conquer. Killington Peak offers something for everyone including glades, moguls, groomed piste, backcountry, powder, or any of their 6 terrain parks. There are also 2 half pipes located on the mountain, one of which is Olympic sized and hosted the 2011 Winter Dew Sports Games, where Shaun White (our current gold medalist in men’s snowboarding halfpipe) participated in. In 2016 and 2017, Killington Mountain hosted the World Cup, where our very own Mikaela Shiffrin skied and won in the slalom competition. When the top Olympic athletes are competing and winning at Killington Mountain, it means you can too.

Killington is able to create such perfect conditions for athletes to engage in through its first class snowmaking. Opening in October and closing as far as June first, Killington offers perfect conditions throughout the season no matter what Mother Nature throws at them. Having a total of 1,700 snow guns allows for up to 12 inches of fresh powder to be distributed over 60 acres. With the help of their 17 snowcats, 40 miles of terrain a night are groomed offering a consistent top-to-bottom surface for all riders. Doing so gives guests quality snow to try on a daily basis. With close to perfect conditions and endless possibilities to ski or snowboard, Killington Resort still offers more!
