Ramshead Express combines groomed snow and natural features, offering a step up for progressing riders. Skyeburst attracts intermediate enthusiasts with great flow and is serviced by a high-speed lift for quick repeats.

Advanced Trails

Outer Limits is known as the steepest mogul trail in the East β€” period. Cascade provides a fast, steep descent with breathtaking views of the Vermont valley. Superstar, famous for hosting FIS World Cup races, combines speed and technicality and serves as the benchmark run for serious skiers at Killington.

Freestyle and Terrain Parks

The Stash is a natural-feature terrain park with log rails, wooden ramps, and creative obstacles built into the trees. Dream Maker suits intermediate and advanced freestylers, while Mouse Run Park gives beginners their first taste of freestyle terrain.
