The Scene – In early season, yahoo fever takes hold and skiing here can be life-threatening. Skip November or go elsewhere. And stay close to friends; split up and never the twain shall meet again, except back at the car--if you can find the parking lot. – – The Slopes – Nothing matches Killington for sheer variety. With seven mountains, Killington offers something for everyone. There's a welcome emphasis on top-to-bottom skiing (with a boost to 70 percent snowmaking coverage) for all skill levels and reconfigured trails that offer more old-fashioned, classic New…

Really BIG, Really Fun,Not Cheap

I went to Killington skiing this january and had a blast. After trying other mountians I found killington to have the best snow due to the sun not hitting it all day. Theres tons of slopes including some great skiing in the woods. The terrain parks are by far THE BEST I"VE EVER SEEN! They have a new natural park with 5 plus jumps and boxes galore. It is a tad bit pricey but, worth the 15 bucks. Don't go skiing if your broke lift tickets run about 75+ and food is expensive. Night life was hard to find but the skiing was to good. Highly recomend for those who are above intermidate and for the new guys, it beats other mnts cuz you can go down easy slopes all day and not see the same stuff.
- Pros: Best on east coast,Tons of Trails
- Cons: Expensive,lack of night life

Not all its cracked up to be....

My husband and I have never skiied out East prior to our recent trip to Killington, VT. We purchased a multi-day pass and when we got there we were told that the days were to be used consecutively. We purchasd a 5 day pass. Also, the ski/snow conditions were less than par. Perhaps if we had gone in March our tale would be different. As said by others, food here is very expensive and it also, it is very easy to get lost or on the 'wrong' trail as they are not marked very well. While we enjoyed our trip to Killington, we will not be returning any time in the near future. We are going to stick with skiing out West and/or in Europe. As a side note, if you have not skiied in Switzerland.....do so. Grindenwald is the bomb!
- Cons: expensive food, poorly marked trails

Killington is the pits
by ma_tt_sterdebater
If you are a real skiier this resort is not for you, however if your into an overly large resort that caters mainly to inexperience skiiers and riders on vacation. This is not an area for hard core or better than average skiiers or riders, you will be frustrated by long lines, crappy service and inexperienced skiiers carving in front of you.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: Crowded , Bad Customer Service, Bad Parking
