Killington
The biggest ski area in New England, with a season that often stretches from November to May and better value than the Rockies.
Terrain
Six connected peaks with long groomed cruisers and steep, often icy New England runs. Snowmaking covers an enormous amount of terrain, which is why the season runs so long. Genuinely hard trails come off Killington Peak, while Snowshed is beginner country.
