Covering six mountains, Killington has earned its reputation as the “Beast of the East”.
Perfect for mixed abilities, New England’s largest resort is as popular as ever with our school groups. Boasting 155 trails, Killington’s huge diversity of terrain gives excellent scope for progression and its beginner programmes are superb. Even better, you can expect great snow all season, thanks to high annual snowfall and extensive snowmaking.
The hidden gem, Pico sits just 15 minutes' drive from Killington, giving your group the chance to experience two fantastic Vermont resorts in one week. Pico is a great addition to your Vermont skiing experience and the excitement of a new ski area gives everyone renewed enthusiasm and, off the slopes, there’s everything from ice-cream parties to ice-skating in the nearby town of Rutland.
After a busy day skiing, re-energize with a waffle and Vermont’s much-loved sauce, maple syrup.
The huge ski domain spans six mountains, and mixed abilities can stick together with a range of graded trails running from the top of each lift.
Plus, with our great new 'Slopes and the City' package you can enjoy 4 day’s skiing in Killington and stopover in either New York or Boston!
