In the winter months, Killington welcomes thousands of visitors from across the country who come to ski and ride the largest ski area in the eastern United States. The Beast of the East features seven distinct mountain areas, including Killington Peak, the second-highest in the state at 4,241 feet. With 155 trails and six terrain parks, Killington provides skiers and riders of all ability levels a choice of wide-open groomed trails, narrow classic New England runs, and much more. The opening day for skiing and riding at Killington Resort is expected to be November 14.
The fun doesn’t stop when Killington’s peaks transition from pure white to vibrant green. In the warmer months, Killington provides unparalleled mountain biking and golfing, and is home to an adventure center featuring the Beast Mountain Coaster, the Soaring Eagle, Alpine Tubing, and more.
In addition to Killington Resort, there are several other hiking and walking trails in the region, including Thundering Brook Falls Trail and Deer Leap Overlook trail, a 1.9-mile hike that is good for hikers of all ability levels.
