The Beast of the East

My sister recently pointed out that I rarely mention Killington Ski Resort when I talk about the great skiing near the Inn. It is true -- we are spoilied with our close proximity to Okemo/Jackson Gore (a mere 4.5 miles away); however, what makes our location rather spectacular is that we are also only 11.8 miles away from the Killington Skyeship. WHAT???? Yep, a 15 minutes drive up Rt. 100 to Rt. 4 gets you to a gondola that will whisk you up over the mountain to Skye Peak, one of the 6 mountain peaks at the resort (7 if you include Pico).

Just a few quick facts about this mighty resort:

It is the largest ski resort in the eastern US

It has 21 lifts and 155 trails over 1509 skiable acres

It typically has the longest season -- opening as early as October and recently staying open until June!

71% of the trails are equipped with snow-making machines

It was purchased by Killington Independence Group in September 2024

No matter where you ski -- you'll want your day to start and finish at the Inn at Water's Edge!
