Ski Report for Killington Resort, Vermont
Daily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont
The Beast is alive and ready to play! Killington Resort is firing on all cylinders right now, with 109 of 118.4 kilometers of slopes open—that's an impressive 92 percent of terrain available for your shredding pleasure. If you're heading out today, you've got access to 13 of the resort's 22 lifts, so there's plenty of ways to get up the mountain.
Currently, the mountain is sitting pretty with 56 centimeters of snow at the summit and a solid 40 centimeters base down at the valley. The recent snowfall has been treating skiers well, with about 7 to 8 centimeters dropping in the past couple of days and the season total now standing at an impressive 99 inches. The primary surface is packed powder with machine-groomed runs, which means you're looking at a nice, solid base without too much variability across the terrain.
If you're hoping for fresh tracks, today is looking a touch light with less than a centimeter of new snow expected at the mountain, but the coming days are where things get interesting. Saturday night into Sunday looks like it could deliver around 5 centimeters of new snow at elevation, with temperatures hovering in the upper teens to low twenties Fahrenheit. Sunday through Tuesday sees scattered chances for more snow, though amounts diminish after that initial system. By midweek, expect clearer skies and colder temperatures settling in, with highs only reaching the teens.
The weather today is mild by January standards, with highs approaching the upper thirties at base elevation and lows around 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Tomorrow gets cooler with highs in the low thirties and overnight lows dropping into the high teens. Come Sunday, expect mostly cloudy conditions with highs around 29 degrees and lows around 12 degrees.
One thing to keep in mind: piste conditions can vary from fresh powder to firm, icy patches, especially after warm spells or heavy traffic on popular runs. Off-piste terrain will be more variable, with wind and sun potentially creating wind crust, while cold nights help preserve powder stashes in shadier areas. The mountain's wind forecast shows moderate southwestern flows throughout the week, which should keep things from getting too scoured.
The Beast's legendary snowmaking system has been working overtime, and it shows. With the season running through early June, you're looking at an extended window to rack up vertical. The resort is open weekends from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight hours to enjoy the mountain. Whether you're chasing fresh powder or carving up those groomed cruisers, Killington is delivering the goods right now.
