Killington Resort welcomes skiers and riders back to the slopes for the
kick-off of the 2011-12 winter season on Saturday, October 29, 2011,
nearly nine weeks after tropical storm Irene devastated the Northeast.
Thanks to Mother Nature, Killington received nine inches of natural snow
in the last 24 hours and our dedicated snowmakers will continue to make
snow as well as expand the terrain as long as conditions permit.
Skiing
and riding will be on advanced terrain only on the un-groomed Rime
trail, providing roughly 600 vertical feet of terrain. No beginner
terrain will be available at this time.
Hours of operation will
be 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 pm on Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on
Sunday. The K-1 Gondola will provide uploading and downloading, while
access from the top of the K-1 Gondola down and up from the skiing and
riding terrain will be via a short walk on the Peak Walkway.
This
weekend, lift tickets are $39 for adults (19-64), $33 for Young
Adults/Seniors (13-18/65+) and $27 for Juniors (7-12). Season pass
holders who have not activated their passes may do so at the Snowshed
Sales Center beginning at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, October 29.
Beverages,
hot dogs, chili and light snacks will be available for purchase at the
base of the North Ridge Triple Chair and the K-1 Lodge will be open for
ticket sales, lunch, guest service, retail and restrooms.
Killington
Resort anticipates skiing and riding on the upper mountain terrain
through Sunday, October 30. Our crews will re-evaluate the conditions on
Sunday afternoon and determine the operating schedule for the following
week. Check here each day after 4:00 p.m. to see if we will operate the
following day.
