Killington is 3 hour drive from Boston. I89 through New Hampshire can be an interesting drive in bad weather but roads are well treated - it‘s not like your driving from bay area to Tahoe with people who don’t know how to drive in the snow. The skiing in Killington this January and February was probably some of the best skiing in the US outside of Jackson Hole or the Pacific NW. We had plenty of ”real” snow on top of the man made base. SFO - Boston will give you the best connections, i.e. non-stop flight, but you could also fly into Manchester NH save yourself an hour on the driving. Base area of Killington is 2400 ft roughly and Boston is sea level and it is about 160 miles - so no big elevation changes.anyone visit Killington from the sf bay area?
my new job is based out of San Francisco and since I just bought IKON am thinking of making a trip there next year.
Whats the best airport to fly into?
I could leave from SFO.
I have a college friend that lives outside of Boston and it seems like a 3 hour drive from there.
What is the drive like? Major elevation changes? Road / snow conditions?
Is there a better place to fly into besides Boston.
Figure I will get accommodations at or near Killington for 2-3 nights.
Any intelli would be much appreciated....
thank you in advance

Snow was spectacular down in Mammoth today. C'mon down and get you some.

We got on the hill about 10:30 this morning. The snow was already soft on all but the very top of the hill. (And we still got a decent parking spot at Stump Alley at that time.)I think I know the rough answer to this...what time are you getting out? I’ll be in the area at the end of the week and wondering whether it’d be worthwhile to get out early for a few turns.
State is so damn big it has two threads.I posted some pictures in the Mammoth threaad at https://www.SkiTalk.com/threads/202...-resorts-conditions-meetups.20469/post-614327

We will proabably do a split arrival the rest of the week -- some of us close to opening and some mid-morning.
Did you make it through Bridgeport without being pulled over on suspicion of steeling all the pots and pans from William Sonoma?Dude, one simply does not post Mammoth pics in the Tahoe thread. Propriety.
Don't be so lazy and check the Mammoth thread.
