Killington's new park

Ok, I know the rep that Killington has got new school wise....but...

Listen up. You may have heard that Killington is moving it's sig park to Bear Mtn from its former location at Snowshed. This is true.

Look for Killington to step it up big time this year. We'll be expanding out Freeride Teams, unvieling a superpipe with a handle tow, building a boarder/skier cross course, and offering way more hits, rails and general stoke (I know that word sux) than ever before. All of it from Bear Mountain instead of the old location next to the Bunny hill.

If this sounds like BS from a marketing guy, you're part right. I'm a marketing guy, and thats part of the reason this is finally taking shape. We've got people making decisions who know whats up. Up until 3 years ago I was taking third :( behind rory will and hibbert in halfpipe comps all over the East. But hell someone's gotta go the executive route right?

We're letting loose a new killington.com before the season starts along with it a chance for a bunch of skiers and riders to join the teams and get more exposure. The guy in charge of marketing the teams...a skier who takes off switch.

Talk to ya'll soon.

I'm very interested in joining a team...I live 30min from Killington and that's the only place i ski. I can't wait for this season. With the timberline park tripled in length, the bear mountain parks, and super pipe, this season should be awesome.

I live in killington and like 10min away from the mtn. I think that the park pretty much sucked last year. Also for whoever asked about when the new park opens, my answer is 'when we actually get snow'. Also, the bear mtn park better have rope toes or im gunna be pissed having to wait in the lift line for like 30min. Bear mtn always has a huge crowd and now with the park people it's gunna be insane...

I was there the 22nd and they had like a couple of rails up, that was it...starting to blow some snow on the timberline park area. I was upset. I hear sugarbush is going to have a sick fuckin park this year...

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

as of the 26th they have
1 small hip/jump
3 rails (flat, down, flat-down)
2 boxes (one flat, one up-flat w/ a 1' drop off)
all features are about 20' in length

i forget what trail it was on. somthing near the peak. that was the only park i saw.

they are blowing a TON of snow on bear mountain. when they clean it up with the groomers they should have some larger sized hits.

i skiied sugarbush on the 26th, i didnt see anything at the lincoln peak area, but the mt ellen area had some really nice jumps up. Four different jumps were up, a channel gap, two 3 hit jumps, ranging from about 15-50 feet, and then they had a really big jump at the end with two take offs with the bigger take off at about 65 or 70 feet, really hard to clear.
