School ski trips to Killington
Spread across an incredible six mountains, Killington is New England’s largest resort and worthy of its reputation as the ‘Beast of the East’. The region is perfect for mixed abilities, and is a popular option for stateside school ski groups who we know love its huge diversity of terrain. Boasting 155 trails, Killington gives excellent scope for progression and its beginner programmes are superb. Even better, you can expect great snow all season, thanks to high annual snowfall and extensive snowmaking.
Features
Each one of your students can look forward to first-class ski tuition at Killington, with beginners encouraged to work up from the dedicated learning areas to one of the longest green runs on the United States’ East Coast.
With 155 trails and over 73 miles (117km) to choose from, Killington provides your ski group with a wonderful choice of wide-open groomed cruisers, as well as the narrower classic New England runs, moguls and steeps.
