Killington, aka The Beast, is the Northeast’s largest ski resort. We are located 20 minutes from the Skyeship gondola and 30 minutes from the main base lodge.
Suicide Six is a few minutes up the road in Pomfret and offers 24 trails (30% beginner, 40% intermediate and 30% advanced), as well as rentals and repairs. The very nice base lodge has a restaurant and bar with view on the slopes and a massive wood-burning fireplace.
