Beast of the East Spring Shred: Killington's Final Lap with Fresh Snow and Corn Conditions
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Ski Report for Killington Resort, Vermont
Daily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont
Hey skier, Killington's still shredding into spring with that classic Beast of the East vibe—base at 12-50 inches, summit pushing 24-76 cm of mostly machine-groomed and gripping snow for killer carves. No massive fresh dump in the last 24-48 hours (zeros reported recently), but season total's a beastly 187 inches, thanks to epic snowmaking stacking depths over 30 feet in spots.
Right now, 12-13 of 20-22 lifts are spinning, unlocking 85-95 of 155 trails (72% open), including valley runs—perfect for laps on beginner greens to expert blacks, though watch for thinning coverage and variable wet snow up high. Piste conditions are solid machine-groomed with some frozen granular; off-piste is thin and hazard-marked, so stick to bounds. Temps hover 30-59°F base to cooler summits around 35-43°F, with winds 9-30 mph and humid air—grab layers for that spring chill.
Heads up on drama: recent rain and melt caused instability, closing Superstar Six lift and trail due to an 8-10 foot crevasse on the glacier—Ski Patrol's marking hazards, and some runs like Double Dipper stay ungroomed to save the stash. Most of the mountain's still spring-tastic, but walk spots possible.
Forecast's wild: today snow showers (2-5 inches possible), highs 17-59°F dropping to 4-16°F lows with gusts. Tomorrow partly cloudy 28-38°F, then wintry mix or freezing rain Thursday (trace-1 inch), warming to 61°F Friday with melt. Weekend eyes 18-32°F highs, light snow traces Sunday-Monday, ramping to 4-7 inches midweek—prime for corn snow play if it holds.
Score epic vert (3,076 feet) across 1,516 acres while it lasts—season runs to June 7. Locals say hit early for groomers, respect closures, and embrace the slushy fun!
