Killington Ski Resort

Itineraries

The Perfect Day at Killington for Advanced Skiers

Killington has it all, spread across six peaks. Here’s how advanced skiers can make the most of the Beast of the East.

Great Northern | Snowdon Mountain | The Canyon | The Peak Lodge | Bear Mountain | Superstar

Top of the K-1 Express Gondola

Great Northern

When: First chair | Top of the K-1 Express Gondola

Ride the mountain’s signature lift from the K-1 Lodge to the top of Killington Peak. From there you’ll have an incredible view from the 4,241 foot ceiling of the resort.

🟦 Great Northern is a long intermediate groomer that lets you savor that view while warming up your legs for the day ahead. It will take you from Killington Peak to Snowdon Mountain, cutting across many runs. At the bottom, turn onto 🟦 Chute to take you all the way down.


Snowdon Mountain, Killington

Snowdon Mountain

When: 9:30–11 | Snowdon Six Express

Now that you’re warmed up, enjoy the combination of intermediate and advanced groomers and bumps served by the Snowdon Six Express and the new Snowdon Quad, which will début for the ’26-’27 season.

If glades are your thing, there are several challenging tree runs coming off 🟦 Frolic. If not, you’ll find nearly two dozen blue to double black runs and two terrain parks to keep you busy as you burn off breakfast.


The Canyon, Killington

The Canyon

When: 11–12:30 | Canyon Quad

Formed where Killington Peak meets Snowdon Mountain, The Canyon provides a ton of challenges in an area that feels cozy despite Killington’s enormity. The beginning of your descent will likely be on a more gradual intermediate run, but you’ll soon come to real-deal black diamond and double black diamond runs on which you’ll earn the rest to come.

Weave through the trees in ◆ 𖠰 The Throne glade. Keep an eye out for something steep and groomed, or challenge yourself with the quad burning ◆◆ Double Dipper before ending the morning back at the K-1 Lodge.


The Peak Lodge, Killington

The Peak Lodge

When: 12:30–1:30 | Top of the K-1 Express

Ride the gondola back to where the day began and make your way into the Peak Lodge for lunch. It can be a bit crowded on busy mountain days, but the view is worth slowing down for. Just don’t get too comfortable, because the Beast still awaits!


Bear Mountain, Outer Limits, Killington

Bear Mountain

When: 1:30–2:30 PM | Bear Mountain Quad

From the Peak Lodge, head to the far edge of the resort. Shortly after you begin a descent on 🟦 Great Northern, look for 🟦 🟢 Bear Tracks, and ride it all the way to 🟦 Bear Claw, which you’ll take until it feeds into the intermediate portion of 🟦 Skyeburst.

From here take the Bear Mountain Quad and choose your adventure. ◆◆ Outer Limits and ◆◆ Devil’s Fiddle are right-of-passage runs, the former having a deck at it’s base where skiers gather to cheer those who make it down unscathed (and jeer those who do not). It’s all in good fun, but if steep moguls are not your preference, fear not. 🟦 Bear Claw and ◆ Wildfire will also bring you to the Skye Peak Express.


Superstar, Killington

Superstar

When: Last Chair | Superstar Six

Take the Skye Peak Express Quad to the top of Skye Peak. From here you can get a quick ride in on crowd-pleasing runs like ◆ 🟦 Needle’s Eye or ◆ Vertigo before heading back up the Needle’s Eye Express Quad.

Use Skylark to bring you to the Superstar Six. From here there are lots of tightly packed intermediate to expert options, groomers, bumps and trees. But the main attraction is closing your day on ◆ Superstar. The snowmaking staff ensure they build a base on the run, and they don’t stop. In the depth of winter, it can be almost as high as the chairlift that runs alongside. End the day the way Killington ends every season—running loops on ◆ Superstar.
