Daily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont

The Beast is firing on all cylinders right now, with 100 percent of the terrain officially open and 17 of 20 lifts spinning as of yesterday. The base is sitting at a solid 17 inches, which might sound modest, but the mountain's been working hard to deliver consistent skiing across the entire resort.

Mother Nature dropped about 5 centimeters of fresh powder on February 25th, so there's been some recent action on the slopes. Looking ahead at the next few days, expect a dusting of new snow today and tomorrow with those characteristic freeze-thaw conditions that define late February skiing in Vermont. Temperatures will be chilly, dipping to around minus 22 degrees Celsius on Sunday night, so bundle up if you're heading out. Mid-week things get more interesting, with a moderate snow event expected Wednesday night, bringing the most significant accumulation in the coming week. The wind should ease off as we move through the week, shifting to southwesterly fresh breezes Tuesday night before calming down entirely by Wednesday evening.

Current conditions are crispy and clear, with highs hovering in the low-to-mid 30s Fahrenheit and lows dropping well below freezing. The top of the mountain is tracking around 80 centimeters of snow, while the base has about 50 centimeters, giving you that range of conditions where upper terrain is playing well and lower sections require some careful line choice.

One thing worth knowing if you're planning a trip: the resort has been laser-focused on preparing terrain for the World Cup competition coming next week, so expect the mountain to be dialed in at the premium zones. The tubing park is open if you want a break from the slopes, and the resort's recommending you book lodging directly through Killington to snag some lift ticket discounts. Whether you're a pass holder or day-tripper, download the resort app to track real-time lift and trail status so you can maximize your time on snow.
