Killington, Vermont
Killington is the home of the largest ski area
in the eastern United States. It is located in the southern
portion of Central Vermont and just a few miles removed from
Rutland, the second largest city in the state. Its proximity
to Rutland is not only of great benefit to Killington's visitors,
but also makes it one of the few ski areas in Vermont which
can be traveled to via Amtrak, Interstate Bus Service, Local
Shuttle, and US Airways to Rutland State Airport. For all
intents and purposes, although it has a small year-round population,
Killington is 100% a resort area. There is no village. The
greater majority of the businesses are located on Killington
Road, which is commonly referred to as the Killington Access
Road - the mountain road leading to the Killington Resort.
The Killington Resort (seven mountains) is the largest ski
area in the East and takes pride in being the first ski resort
in Vermont to open each winter, and the last to close. Killington
Peak, with an elevation of 4,195 feet (with a view of 5 states
and Canada) and a vertical drop of 3,150 feet , it is the
second highest mountain in Vermont . The resort has 31 lifts,
including a gondola (said to be the longest in the country),
and offers 95 miles of skiing on its 200 trails. The area
also contains 45 miles of hiking trails, 40 miles of biking
trails, and endless miles of Vermont Association of Snow Travelers
(VAST) snowmobile trails (capable to taking you all the way
to Canada). Cross-Country Skiers have their choice of area
touring centers or skiing the the almost untouched Green Mountain
National Forest trails. Don't Stay Away In Summer & Fall!
The Killington Resort Gondola carries regular folk as well
as hikers and bikers to the mountain's summit where spectacular
views of the area's seven mountains surround those walking
or riding the trails. And, the gondola ride to the summit
is not to be missed in late September and early October to
view our fall foliage. And hikers should plan to walk portions
of the Long Trail. Access to the trail is just a few miles
west toward Rutland and there is free parking for hikers and
backpackers. Killington is also a paradise for golfers. There
are two PGA Golf Courses located here, as well as a number
of others within a short drive - Including, Stonehedge Golf
- a Par 3 Public Golf Course located in nearby Rutland. This
is a beautiful low key, relaxed and inexpensive place to play,
ideal for beginners and intermediate players! Want to take
in a movie or a live stage performance? In downtown Rutland
you'll find the modern Plaza Movieplex 9 theatre, as well
as the newly renovated and spectacular Paramount Theatre -
a magnificent performing arts center. Many of the ponds dotting
the area include Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife Boat
Access Ramps, which are also popular fishing spots among local
residents. These include Kent Pond, Beaver Pond, and Colton
Pond, all within less than five minutes of the intersection
of Killington Road and Route 4. As you can see, there is no
shortage of recreational activities in the Killington Area!
You'll also find a wealth of Special Events and Attractions
& Places of Interest in nearby areas. After a day in sun
or snow, choose to spend a quiet dinner in any of the more
than 100 Restaurants, Inns, bistros and nightspots spaced
attractively along the access road, on Route 4, and in nearby
Rutland. Dining facilities cover the spectrum from candlelight
dining to casual and moderately-priced eateries. Discovery
is half the fun!
