Just at work browsing Killington’s website and dreaming about January. Didn’t realize they had childcare there. My kids will be 5 and 4 this winter. Curious if anyone is willing to share their experiences with the childcare center there.

Thanks!

I bought 365 pass for this past winter expecting it to cover this summer. Guess I didn’t read the fine print…..

Heading up to the mountain this weekend. Anyone have extra vouchers, please?

Hello Killington sub! I am getting married in town this summer. I am in need of a restaurant/ vendor that can fill and order for like 100 breakfast Sandwiches to be ready for the morning after the wedding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello I am in need of some transportation for about 15 people on a Saturday in late July. There are only a couple of shuttle companies and they seem to be booked. Curious if anyone has recommendations or knows of any other transportation services. Thanks

Has anyone hiked up Killington hiking trail E recently? Except for last year when Superstar was under construction I hike this trail a few times a year (and take the gondola down). I typically really enjoy it and haven't had issues finding signage. People do complain on All Trails that it's not well marked and I'd agree but again it hasn't bothered me before.

Today on my way up I literally couldn't find the trail at some point. I exited the woods at some point I believe I was on High Road/Skylark intersection (so not high up enough where I could have blamed being tired). So either the trail was so overgrown or maybe the signage got lost? Has anyone experienced this? I've seen most people come down this trail vs. going up. I wonder if it was more clear from that direction. I ended up crossing the trail and got myself up that section somehow and found some signage. But I'm just so confused as to what I might have missed.

UPDATE: I've done this same route today and they had added signage and I wasn't lost!!

Is Killington offering K-Tickets for the next winter season? Found that was always a good value when Ikon has gone up so much in recent years

Hey there! Planning a mini New England road trip this summer from PA with three kids (7–12). We're routing to avoid NYC traffic and want to experience the Green Mountains. We are very familiar with the Poconos - so we want BIGGER mts and are debating two options for our VT leg:

• Option A: Stay south in the Bennington/Wilmington area.
• Option B: Drive further north to Killington.

Is the extra time and gas to Killington worth it for a family our size, or does Southern VT offer a great, distinct New England flavor with big mountain views and unique outdoor fun? Appreciate any insights!

I'm arriving in New York at around 11am and the earliest option is to take a train which would get me to Rutland at 7:30pm (without any delays).

I don't know what to do. I've read/heard that there Uber isn't really a thing there and another suggestion was cooper cabs, but they have a schedule up until 8pm, and I don't even know if they'll do the ride.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I need to stay near Dartmouth for most of June for work and will have with me, at various times and in various configurations, my 13 and 8 year-old sons and my mountain biker husband. Even though it's a drive to Hanover, I've landed on Killington as a potential option because of pricing and biking accessibility.

I'm looking for a general vibe check on some of these condos, which I see readily available and very cheap on airbnb. I'm wondering if the affordability is a red flag. What is safety like in Killington this time of year? Sometimes it'll just be me and one of my kids. Are there any condos that might feel less safe/ enjoyable for a mom and kid(s) than others? Any condos you'd really recommend, in particular? I'm concerned about it feeling like a ghost town (in a bad way).

Am I nuts to think I can commute to Hanover from Killington every day for a few weeks?

Thanks for whatever reality-checks and insight you can offer!

Looking at ski in ski out accommodation right after Christmas. Is the Great Eastern trail usually open by then? I know sunrise lift isn’t usually operational by that point right?

Mods, delete if breaking the rules.

Hey everyone — I've been working on an app called SkiFlow, and the best way I can describe it is Google Maps Traffic, but for ski mountains.

You get an interactive trail map of your resort with real-time data layered on top: live lift wait times, crowd heatmaps so you can see which parts of the mountain are packed, weather forecasts, and crowdsourced trail condition reports. Tap any run and report what you just skied — surface type (powder, corduroy, ice, crud, and 8 more), moguls, and a star rating. Reports auto-expire after 2 hours, so the data never goes stale.

I'm looking for real skiers to test it out and give honest feedback on what's broken, missing, or just doesn't feel right.

Supported resorts: Vail · Breckenridge · Aspen · Steamboat · Copper Mtn · Winter Park · Keystone · Telluride (CO) — Park City · Snowbird (UT) — Mammoth (CA) — Big Sky (MT) — Jackson Hole (WY) — Killington · Stowe (VT)

Most of these have closed for the season, so I'm especially looking for people still skiing at Mammoth, Killington, or Snowbird where you can actually put the trail reporting feature through its paces with real snow under your feet.

To join the beta: send me a DM with your email and I'll send you the invite

Android only for now. Free, no ads.

This is the first app I have ever built, so I am genuinely looking for solid feedback so I can continue to build the app in time for next year's season.

Anybody got a take on the weather for this weekend?

I am a beginner when it comes to freestyle, I would love to get more work in but with only 4 rails at the hike park (even though they dont look too difficult), I feel like it might not be the best place for me to be. I imagine it will be packed w more advanced snowboarders and skiers and it will just be a little intimidating with all these people hitting their crazy moves and me just doing basic ass shit.

Has anyone been? Is it packed? Honesty is appreciated!

Took my board out last weekend and man did that thing get scratched up. Sunday wasn’t bad but Saturday there were rocks and branches everywhere, Superstar was good but every other slope things were def starting to crack

Anyone been this week? Was wondering if the coverage has improved at all after a few snow flurries and hopefully some additional snow grooming. Referring to the slopes beside Superstar, obviously that one is still alive and kicking

Last Sunday pretty sure it was only 3. Superstar great as always, Skye lark was mostly good too but nearly impossible to not hit a few rocks or two, and now we have the hike park

What are the other 4?

friday I assume has less lines, but saturday has the DJ and assumedly better vibes. Does it get crowded on superstar on saturdays during this portion of the season? which one should I do?

Follow-up to my previous post here

I tried everything and "Bubba" the monkey never turned up. Killington staff were super helpful, as were all of you. I've also spent the past month scouring the Internet for a replacement, and as you can imagine, it's hard to find a specific stuffie from 40 years ago, but I did it. Until this point, I've bided my time with the excuse that "Bubba must have stayed behind for some spring skiing. You know he's a cheeky monkey. I'm sure he'll come home after the season is done"

Here's where my request comes in...

The request:

would one kind soul send us a postcard from killington "from" Bubba? I will Venmo or PayPal you for the time and effort. This will be a little proof-of-life until Bubba makes it back home.

Or at least Bubba's twin brother- who feels like he knows us so well already... so we won't have that awkward 'getting to know you' phase. In fact, we'll just call him Bubba.

Going up there for a bachelor party in late May and am trying to brainstorm ideas of what we could do while up there? Would appreciate any help

Hi! I live in New York and I’m thinking about going to Killington, but I’m not sure if it’s still worth it this late in the season.

I already have a spring season pass, but I don’t want to spend money on gas and put miles on my car if conditions aren’t great.

How is it right now? Until when is it usually good to go? Would you say it’s still worth the trip?

can someone confirm?

are they gonna move the rails to any of the other peaks? I know they have a park at bear but those features are too crazy for me

Skiing recreational moguls is my favorite thing to do on the mountain. I’ve never really been to the east coast before, but have always heard that Killington is kind of a mogul mecca. I’d like to take a trip over there for the bumps, visit a shop I’ve given a fair amount of money to (shout out to Forerunner), and maybe even swing by Waterville is conditions and time are conducive.

But, I’m coming from out west, so this is pretty out of the way for me and will mean some planning and a plane trip.

For those of you who love moguls at Killington, is there a period of the season I should target? I understand there’s a lot of variability year to year due to weather and that flexibility will be necessary, just trying to get an idea of when to shoot for.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the insight. I sincerely didn’t realize that the east is that fundamentally different from what I’m used to in the west, or that conditions are that inherently volatile.

Thanks for saving me from very probable disappointment by turning me off the notion of a winter east coast trip.

But also thank you for turning me on to the notion of an early May a east coast trip. I learned a lot about this spring skiing vibe at Killington and I liked what I learned, so I’ll be heading out there. The forecasts seem to vary between “excellent” and “a little too cold and cloudy”, so fingers crossed that it pans out.
