Daily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont

Hey, shredders and powder hounds! Killington, the Beast of the East, is roaring into the new year with solid base depths to keep your edges carving all day. Right now, expect 40cm (about 16 inches) at the base (355m) and 56cm (22 inches) up top at the summit (1293m), mostly machine-made snow that's holding strong despite a recent mixed precip event of freezing rain and sleet overnight. The crew dropped 4 inches in the last 24 hours and 5 inches over 48, with a season total pushing 74 inches—way ahead of average for early January.

Carve up 78km of the 118km slopes (66% open), including valley runs, serviced by 15 of 22 lifts (68% spinning). Primary surfaces are machine-groomed for those buttery turns, with variable spots mixing it up—perfect for aggressive riders hitting steeps, trees, or wide cruisers across the 1,516 acres. Off-piste? Stay cautious with variable conditions; wind and sun can crust things quick, but cold temps are preserving stashes. Fun Park's open for park rats, but halfpipe's closed, and no night skiing yet.

Weather's biting today with partly cloudy skies, highs around 25°F dropping to 5°F lows—bundle up for that crisp Vermont air. Looking ahead, brace for snow flurries: tomorrow's high 22°F with snow, Thursday 18°F more flakes, Friday/Saturday partly cloudy at 17°F, and a potential 6cm dump by Wednesday up high. Temps stay sub-freezing, keeping the base solid.

Pro tips from us locals: Grab Fast Tracks for priority lift lines during holiday crowds (8am-4pm through Jan 4), snag discounted tickets with lodging, and hit the new Tubing Park for après thrills. Download the app for real-time lift/trail status and beast mode on! Conditions can shift fast, so check Beast Text Alerts. Who's ready to unleash? Go get those turns!
