Killington Resort posts the longest season in the eastern United States (October to June) and offers a tremendous variety of terrain on 7 mountains. The ski area is huge by the standards of eastern North America, covering 1,200 acres and the Big K also takes the biscuit for apres-ski options. The Killington access road features more than 100 restaurants, nightspots with live music and dancing, along with quiet bistros and inns. Bigger isn't always better and opinions about Killington run from burning hot to freezing cold. But for diversity and options, both on and off the mountain, few resorts can match what Killington offers.

reviewed March 18, 2009 at 3:33 pm I was a pass holder for a couple of years during the ASC years. With the new ownership and them not honoring the lifetime pass holders, I chose to boycott the Big K. After 3 seasons I went back. I did notice the place was much cleaner than the past but there was still the lousy mentality in seeing how people attacked the lift lines. The snowmaking and grooming was supposed to be improved, but after skiing Okemo the previous 2 days, they still aren't up to them. The new terrain park "The Stash" was cool in concept but I think the jumps were too big for the proximity to other features and the traffic that comes though the park.
I won't be going back any time soon, I will either go south of there to Okemo or north to MRG/Bush. But I will not pay now for future development.
Lots of people hate K-Mart. I personnaly always enjoy the mountain but then again, I don't go there on a school vacation week or busy weekend. Midweek, you can get a lot of runs in. The lifts are fast and the skiing spands many acres. Glades are not as exciting and rarely in better shape than Jay Peak and other more Northern resorts but you've got a fair amount of varied terrain and some good steeps. Try it midweek.
