http://www.killington.com/winter/plan/rsvipdeal/ The deal is still there. They say that with the deal you don't know where you are actually staying until you finalize the purchase, but it's pretty obvious comparing the descriptions which ones you are actually booking. |

Only thing I can think of is map your routes out beforehand. Pretty easy to get stuck on winding greens that have too much flatland or getting stuck in a spot where you have to go through tons of moguls (but maybe you like em). |

^^ You don't have to worry this time of year (at least this year you don't). There isn't much open right now so you won't have a hard time getting around.
I may head over on Wednesday for a few hours - have a 10am appt then might get some turns in. Depends on how much snow we get tonight. |

^^ Reporting 12" of new snow. They ALWAYS overestimate but if you are riding midweek it will probably be great. Would love to head over today for some freshies but my boss would not be thrilled.

Killington is fun for both skiers and riders, however, the green traversing trails (going between peaks) can be fairly flat at times so if your riding those (try to avoid them) make sure your speed is up and your wax is fresh. This won't be a problem yet as not that much terrain is open.

went to killy yesterday, it was real good from about 8 to 1 when it was snowing, visibility was crap but the snow was real nice on some trails. then it turned to straight rain and we had to call it a day. still a good day of riding

Sunday was great during the day time with powder but rain came noon. there were almost 40 trails open on friday i believe but when i checked on monday it was back down to 30. warm weather kills

We hit Killington today and had a great time. They have 48 trails open, lines weren't long and conditions were reasonable although the steeper trails (East Fall, Superstar,
Skylark) had a fair amount of ice but it is all good.

That is not really a trail for snowboarding it is more of a cross country skiing trail. I once got onto that trail the first time I went there and its absolute hell when you get to the flat parts that last a mile or more at a time.

I was just there for the past three days. The juggernaut has been closed the entire time since it doesn't have snowmaking on it. Unless Killington gets a couple feet of snow I don't think you are going to be able to ride it anyways. |

The Jug is rideable on a board, just dont stop unless you have a decent grade in front of you.
Question to the Kton Locals... I know they stop grooming once the season starts to draw to a close. Anyone have any insider information as to when they plan on stopping? Thanks. |

Bolton valley has night riding. It is right outside of burlington and is a hidden gem in vermont.
Killington can be fun, but i only go early/late season. There are way better options mid season. Sugarloaf in maine announced they will stay open till may 15th, so my late season killington trips will now be to there.

Bolton Valley is a hidden Gem... but slow lifts and small vert keep the crowds going elsewhere.
Sugarloaf is great, but I'll pass on the 6 hour drive when compared to 3.5 to K. |

Sugarloaf is great but is is a bit far for me at 4 hours. We tend to hit late season when they still have some great terrain open.

March is typically a pretty good month for K, although the mountain is winding down by then.
11-17 was predicted for Tonight into tomorrow. If your local, it's a good day to play hooky. |

Next weekend should be great... big dump of snow this weekend will make it prime.
FYI Killington offering 2 for 1 lift tix via their facebook page. Just click the link on the left for 2 for 1. Deal starts 4/4 and is good until the end of the 2011 season. |
