Killington Mountain is the largest ski resort on the East which includes 6 fully inter-connected separate mountains in itself, plus one additional neighbouring mountain resort of Pico that can be reached by shuttle.
The 321ski groups are typically instructed on 1:6 to 1:8 ratios, and with a dedicated learning area pupils learn quickly. For the more advanced skiers there is a variety of terrain including three different high peaks - the highest in Vermont.
With an average snowfall of 250" promising great powder and a total of 7 terrain parks for the more advanced skiers, beginners take advantage of a dedicated learning area which leads onto long winding cruisers towards the end of the week.

Killington is a particularly good option at Easter or December, away from the crowds in February. Killington boasts being the largest ski resort on the East Coast when Pico is included, as well as offering the highest lift accessible trails. Couple this with a season lasting from October to May, or 199 days, and you're onto a winner!
Our 321ski groups take advantage of the nearby tubing (over the road from the resort) and snowshoeing (over the road from the resort), ice skating, pizzerias and movie theatres to entertain the pupils when not whizsing down the trails!
