Things to Do in Killington

► Killington Essentials

Often one of the first slopes to open in the country, the main attraction of Killington is obviously the great skiing and boarding. Killington, however, has much more to offer. Killington Village is home to a wide selection of restaurants, bars and lodging options, along with some great nightlife and après possibilities. Many hotels near Killington Ski Resort like The Killington Grand Hotel offers on-site activities, including a lounge by a firepit and different on-site restaurants.

► Non-skiing activities

The ski resort is also host to multiple activities other than skiing and snowboarding.

The Beast Mountain Coaster is a 4,800-foot long alpine coaster that may seem tame at first with a long straight start, but once you start down it is full of great corskrew turns and amazing views. Note it is open only on Saturdays and Sundays in the winter.

Who needs horses when you can jump on a Snowcat-drawn Sleigh? See the mountains in a unique light as you are drawn by a snowcat through the trails of Killington.

Killington is also home to Snowmobile Vermont, the state's oldest and largest snowmobile tour company. Experienced or new riders will enjoy the 1-2 hour rides through the forest.
