2026 Killington Mid-Week
Self Drive Ski Trip
Sunday, January 11 to Wed January 14, 2026
Join us for our ninth consecutive year of three days of skiing at Killington Mountain! Killington is the largest ski resort in Eastern North America and the 2nd tallest mountain in Vermont. All 5 mountains at Killington have trails for all levels, from peak to lodge. The area is so large it can be affected by more than one weather system. So it's not unlikely to be able to ski on the Bear Mountain side in sunshine while gusty, cloudy conditions are occurring on the Snowdon side. Killington provides terrain for all levels of skiers. It's a wonderful place to ski - you will not be disappointed!
