The biggest and best ski area in the East, Killington boasts a massive 204 runs, an express lift system, snowmaking on an heroic scale and great aprés ski.

Following the surge of interest in US skiing, Killington, with typical go-for-it style, has turned itself into an international ski resort with lots of everything. Investment is continuous, over $30m last year. There is an Accelerated Learning Area and novice trails from all lifts. The "Juggernaut", at 10 miles, is probably the longest green run in the world. The Killington ski school nurtures beginners in the enlightened belief that a good early experience will create committed skiers and more repeat business.

There is of course fantastic skiing for all other standards including devotees of double diamond blacks, which challenge the best. Long runs are a speciality. This vast, interlinked area has an excellent sign posting system covering all 6 mountains.

There is no real village or resort centre. Hotels, restaurants and bars straggle inconveniently up the long mountain road but the resort organisers have risen to the challenge and installed cheap and frequent shuttles to all parts, running early 'til late. Killington night life is outstanding.
