From the mountain to the après — your complete guide to the best winter experiences
Skiing & Snowboarding
Killington offers 140 trails across 1,509 acres with 22 lifts including two express gondolas. The Beast of the East lives up to its name with terrain for every level, from gentle beginner runs at Snowshed to the infamous Outer Limits mogul field.
Women's FIS World Cup
One of the top three events on the Women's FIS World Cup tour, held annually over Thanksgiving weekend on the Superstar trail. Tens of thousands of fans line the course for world-class giant slalom racing.
Snowmobile Tours
Custom-guided snowmobile tours through the Green Mountains. Snowmobile Vermont offers fully guided excursions across pristine backcountry trails — a completely different way to experience the winter landscape.
Nordic Skiing & Snowshoeing
Mountain Meadows Nordic Center and the Viking Nordic Center offer groomed cross-country trails through Vermont's most scenic terrain. Perfect for families and those looking for a quieter alternative to the downhill scene.
Dog Sledding
Braeburn Siberians offers 30 to 90-minute dog sledding rides through Vermont's snow-covered forests. An unforgettable experience for the whole family — the dogs are as excited as you are.
Mountain Coaster
The 4,800-foot-long alpine coaster twists and turns down the mountain at speeds you control. Open all winter and one of the most-talked-about non-ski experiences at Killington.
Snow Tubing
Killington's tubing park offers lift-served runs for all ages. No skill required — just hold on. A great option for non-skiers in your group or a fun break from the slopes mid-afternoon.
Ski Lessons
Killington's ski and snowboard school offers lessons for every age and ability — from first-timers on the bunny hill to advanced clinics with race coaches. Book ahead during peak weeks.
Après-Ski & Nightlife
Killington Road turns into a mountain town after 3pm. The Wobbly Barn, Pickle Barrel, and The Foundry are legendary. Bar shuttles run on weekends so you don't have to worry about driving.
Ledgewood Yurt Dining
A ski-in, ski-out restaurant and bar tucked into the mountain. Five-course dinners by candlelight in a heated yurt — one of the most unique dining experiences in Vermont winter sports.
Brewery Tours
Vermont's craft beer scene doesn't slow down in winter. Long Trail, Harpoon at Riverbend, Foley Brothers, and Hermit Thrush are all within an easy drive from Killington. Perfect for a mountain rest day.
Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge
An annual spring celebration held each April on Bear Mountain — the Beast's signature mogul event. A pilgrimage for hard-core bump skiers from across the Northeast.
