I skied 100 days this year so far. Killington is so diverse and committed to a great experience that it was all I needed this season. I was never bored, nor had a bad day. A new Lodge, good food options, and helpful staff add to the experience. So many lifts that even on weekends I was never in line more than 7 minutes. You will not be disappointed here.

For the east coast, its hard to beat Killington. First open, last closed, they recover better after bad weather. Snowmaking during storms and thru mid March. Lots of terrain of all levels and groomers are great as well as mogul runs. Something for everyone all season.

Killington is a great mountain with lots of very terrain but can be busy on key weekends and its better when you know the mountain well because it can be confusing due to its multiple peaks and multiple lodges

Fun place for north east skiing! Trails are groomed and great cruisers. Steeps are steep! Ovation will take your breath away!! Lifts need upgrade. Skyeship gondola is old. Needles eye is old and it broke down. Wobbly Barn is a great place to eat!! Dominicks pizza is awesome!!! Best skiing is on Bear mountain peak!

We visited killington this past weekend during the snow storm and it was an experience of a lifetime! As a skier thats used to only groomed runs European resorts, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of powder on the slopes this past weekend. Due to the abundant powder, the resort decided that most of the runs would be left ungroomed for the day and I had the opportunity to experience powder skiing which was unlike anything else I must admit to only trying out the green and blue runs - which turned out to be fairly challenging at times with steep terrain up to 29 degrees! That coupled with the ungroomed unofficial moguls gave my legs a proper, well deserved workout! The food at the lodges were decent but the price of beer was extortionate although that did not stop us from enjoying one! There were plenty of room in the lodges for everyone to rest during lunch hour Rentals were available in town for reasonable prices. We arrived near the end of season and most of the shops were having clearance sale so we managed to snag up new equipment for 40% off in most places! The only complaint I had was the prices of the ski passes. Even with a friends and family discount code from my partner, the prices were still $113 for weekday and $125 over the weekend which is more than double what we pay in European resorts! Overall not quite what I expected of spring skiing - definitely exceeded my expectation! Would love to try out other North American resorts in the future!

Killington is one of the best resorts in New England, good snow quality, versatile terrain for all types of skiers, but in my opinion not the best for beginners, also pricey. Could be expensive for a whole family.

Have been bringing the family to Killington for 10 years. Love the variety of slopes and the challenging terrain. Great food options on the mountain as well. Have often been here during school vacations and the mountain handles a big crowd very well.
