Killington was a great time. Although there were many slopes closed down to lack of natrual snow the staff maintanined the ones that were still open well.

Lovely week at the Beast despite the lack of snow.... watch out for the ice...find the snow on the sides...... I have to say there is never really a bad day on a good Mountain like Killington:) All the staff are friendly, helpful and midweek is definitely the way to go.

The fresh snow over the last couple of days has definitely helped the ice problem although it was still a little hard in some spots. For the lack of open trails the riding was still great and they are definatly aggressively opening trails.

They may have gotten more snow recently but when I went up the first week of 2012, it was very icy. I consider myself a decent skier and can do double blacks no problem. But, I hit a nice ice patch, bailed, and broke my collarbone. Be careful!!! Mountain is definitely the best of the east!

Just got back and it was pretty icy, actually very, not a lot was open, but didn't expect too much for the lack of snow we've had on the east! All in all still had a great day, so did the guys I went with, the gondola's great however macaroni and cheese and a hotdog for $9.95 in the K-1 lodge ... I think not!

Insane, took k1 gondola up and this was my first time being so high. It was cool cause I got a chance to kick it with God. If you're a beginner get some practice in before coming down great northern cause the locals will make you feel it. Can't wait to rip it like those guys!

from out West:Tahoe: Double Blacks of Squaw Valley USA,Mt. Rose Chutes. Realize we won't find a Taos on the East Coast. I'm guessing, but may be wrong, an East Coast Double Black is = to a West blue run or single Black? Sending my son to college in Hanover, NH, and looking for the most expert runs nearby. Is Killington it? What's up with Stowe and Sugarbush? write me: flyer@sbcglobal.net

All of the most obnoxious, arrogant, and dangerous bourders/skiers you'll ever want to meet. Absolutely no courtesy or concern for their fellow skiers. Particularly over the Sky Peak Express Quad and the Bear Mountain near the base areas. Conditions were good otherwise, plenty of good terrain open. Just find some wide open trails with the fewest a-holes. Killington Staff not much of help when wanted to add a day to our Liftopia pass. They should realy study what makes the sucess of Jackson Hole Customer Services!

First time at Killington. Lots of obnoxious snowboarders and skiers, particularly near the base areas. They almost plowed my fiancee, who is not an expert, down 2x. We might think about before we go again. Still TONS of snow and definitely still winter. 5 Peaks is crazy big. Honestly, a 3D relief map in the base lodge might have helped. Had a couple of times we thought we could get there from here but couldn't.

Ever wonder what it would be like to ski on the same slopes as Pauly D., Ron, "The Situation" and Vinny? Well go to Killington, 'cause that's what you'll find. All of the most obnoxious, arrogant, and dangerous bourders/skiers you'll ever want to meet. Absolutely no courtesy or concern for their fellow skiers. Conditions were reasonably good otherwise, plenty of good terrain open. Just find some wide open trails with the fewest a-holes from NY, NJ, CT, and RI.
