Killington Resort

08/27/06

This Green Mountain resort area proves that there's more to Vermont than ski slopes, cows, maple syrup and fall foliage.

by Contributor

Overview
The region's mountains--including Killington itself, the granddaddy with a summit of 4,241 feet--are some of the highest in New England. This is a recreational paradise for outdoorsy folks. Ski downhill on one of the largest ski areas in the world (95 miles of trails) or cross-country in the lower elevations. Hike the Appalachian and Long trails. Tee off on one of the 12 golf courses or go for a daring ride on a mountain bike.

The Experience
It's heaven for leaf-peeping every fall when flatlanders invade to gawk at mountainsides and rolling hills ablaze with color. But in the midst of all this natural beauty, of course, "civilization" has managed to stake out some space and set up camp--tacky shops to entice leaf-peepers and skiers.

Killington & Woodstock

by tlk

Killington & the surrounding towns are absolutely georgous during foliage. Drive Rt4 east from Killington to Woodstock and you enter a town out of a Norman Rockwell painting, the shops and resturants are superb, or park and picnic in the town green, and later retrun to Killington and travel the winding Rt. 100 north just a few miles for picturesque trails and numerous fishing ponds. Many quaint country stores to find antiques, gifts, and maple candy, and award winning cheddars.

• Pros: beauty
• Cons: slow moving traffic

The best staff

by iowadiane

A few years ago, my bestfriend and i vacationed in Vermont. We spent an afternoon at Killington and it was breathtaking. The one thing i want to point out is that i lost my prescription sunglasses at the top. They were considerate enough to continue looking for them. They were found one month later and were sent back to me in California!! How many places would do that??

The Best Fall Color In Vermont

by Cashin2121

While I agree Killington does offer some great fall colors viewing, you missed it by a few miles. Vermont Route 4 which takes you to Killington also runs through the quaint community of Woodstock, VT. The most photographed road in all of Vermont during Fall is Cloudland Road. Take Route 12 north out of Woodstock to the Billings Farm turn right on to Riover Road and take your first left which is Cloudland...its a sectacular drive in fall. I know I lived ther for five years.

Don't bother!!

by VBrooker

I've emailed them several times asking for info on their resort and the area. Never received so much as a canned "thanks for asking" response. If they can't take a minute to answer an email, what makes you think they might care about anything else?
