Killington Peak, Mountain summit in Rutland County, Vermont, US.
Killington Peak is a mountain summit in Vermont that serves as the centerpiece of a major ski resort with terrain for all ability levels. The mountain's slopes and trails provide access to both high-altitude runs and lower elevation skiing throughout the winter season.
The mountain began its development as a ski destination in the late 1950s when the foundation for today's operations was established. These early beginnings shaped the current structure and direction of the resort.
The mountain hosts professional skiing competitions on its Superstar trail, where athletes and spectators gather each November. These events have made this location a destination for those interested in competitive winter sports.
The mountain is accessible via several routes and provides infrastructure for most visitors during the winter season. It helps to familiarize yourself with conditions ahead of time, as weather can change rapidly on the slopes.
The mountain receives about 250 inches of snow during winter and is able to maintain one of the longest operating seasons east of the Rockies. This abundant snow allows the resort to open as early as October and continue into June.
