Honored to call Killington our home mountain in the spring. There is NOTHING like K in the spring. Killington is THE KING OF SPRING for us.

Spring skiing expected at Killington through Memorial Day

This truly captures why we love K, particularly in the spring.

Another stellar weekend run of fun spring games is in the books. Superstar was groomed all three mornings from the start with the bumps ruling by noon. A racing buddy made the comparison to a run of Dead shows. First day was off the hook, Second day had a hard time reaching the peak of the first, Third day was it's own show. For those of us not out West it was dreamy. Tons of spring corn with the World Cup ice base holding up well. Killington opens again next Friday to do it all again.

Friday 9 am groom

Friday 5 pm groom

@James ponders the Superstar Headwall Saturday at noon

Fans stop to watch Hannah Soar on Saturday

Love watching Hanna.
Great day on Saturday. For some reason I got faint and dizzy. Could’ve been the sun, dehydration, and lack of full burka mode. Thanks for the food and water at the compound which restored some order a d enabled more laps. Have a great trip out west!

Any Kton reports from today? I never made it up last Saturday, my loss, but maybe tomorrow might be a go, still deciding? Checked the weather and not ideal (sunny) but overcast with reasonable temps (60) and rain late in the day.

Another Sunday. Rain didn’t take everything away. Actually coldish with the wind this morning.

Been there quite awhile. You’d have to ask the Killington regulars how long. I don’t think people are Franz Klammering down from Pico.



Taken from walkway above Northridge lift last October 22. They had tested the snow guns. Then it got warmer.

The Interconnect was cut in the late 90s. Got stopped by a challenge by environmentalists, so ASC's Les Otten switched gears and instead used the money planned for the lifts to replace the Killington Peak chair with the K1 gondola.

The trail was build to allow Killington to pump their sewage waste tank at night down to the Rutland system for processing. Fairly flat with half the trail often groomed.

Great skiing on Superstar this Memorial day weekend !

Pictures never show the steepness of the headwall !



MTB and Golf course were open too so you could do all 3 and get a t-shirt

Possibly end of the season for Killington. They’ll decide Wednesday.

Opened at 9am today instead of 8. Got there early.



Up on the first batch of chairs. Only patrol tracks down before the rapidly descending hordes


From yesterday morning actually. Ran into @ScottB while leaving, so took another run.

That’s it for my quota of Killington days this season.

Micro meetup with @James at Superstar on Sunday. Really fun day with temps well into into the 80's and bright sun. I took lots of video so will add in another follow on post. Here's a few pictures. Still really good snow coverage.

I think the sign might be apropos..."childcare"! Seems right this group!

We are headed up for our annual HOA meeting this Saturday then I saw the announcement of Thursday skiing to close the season in June. We will not arrive in time to partake as we must drive up Thursday due to a doctor appointment. This spring has been a bit of a sh*tshow, so no return visits for some spring skiing as in other years. I'm hoping next year we will do better, but once spring sets in it is harder to make time for the trip from SE PA.

I hope everyone who goes to K tomorrow has a blast. I'll be at Big Snow for a mini ski day. It's been warm the past few days, I'm looking forward to being in a contained area that's 28 degrees and doing a little sliding on snow. We're getting Beast 365 passes for next season so I'm looking forward to even more days at the beast.
