your going to hear lots of opinions, but remember, no matter what you choose you won't be dissapointed. they are both sick places to shred.

sorry for dub post but i realized my response was vague. I came back from skiing there for a week on sunday. It was real nice and they had alota stuff open but then it got real warm. They made tons of snow for the dew tour park and pipe and thats coming along well. They also opened the stash while i was there, which is a park built with just natural features (tree's for rails, shit like that), its actually real dope. There are mad places there to stay though, so if you end up going there pm me and i can find out some more. I'll be up there that weekend also

Depends on what you like to ski. Killington has steeper trails and usually more snow. If you are really park oriented I'de say Mount Snow. Carinthia is the fucking shit.

i would go killington...

mt. snow has the better park but they suck in every other aspect

killington has much better trees, snow, challenging trails, bumps, and has a sick park also

mt snow. i forget where i stayed, but it was on the mountain.
kid who said mount snow sucks in every other aspect, you're truly mistaken.

i went for a few days, got pounded with 3 feet of pow. the variety in trails is truly amazing as well..
MOUNT SNOW.

I would say Mt. Snow, i just feel better when i go there Carinthia is the illest, the place just has a really good vibe Killington is pretty sick gets reeeallly icy but has better non park features. Can't go wrong with either but i would say Mt.Snow

that's "Glen run condos". you can basically walk out your door and your standing in the Grommett mini park

been to both and both are amazing mountains killington is bigger and has a wider variety of terrain but their park is not as good as mt snows. both are going to be crowded but because killington is bigger you will be able to find a nice area tat is not being skied as much. if you go to killington and want good terrain then i would suggest bear mountain. if you go to mt snow the steepest terrain is on the far right looking at the mountain. as for lodging i have a place at killington so i would not be able to help you out there. hope this helps.

If you hit Killington at the right time, when all of their parks are set up, it's fucking money. So many features. However, Carinthia is all park..so...

Killington has much better variety of trails, better glades, more cliff drops, but can get decently crowded on a holiday weekend, not really sure about Mt. Snow because the last time i was there was 4 years ago but usually Killingtons parks are really fun, obviously not as big as some of the features in Carinthia but theyre still fun nonetheless
