Ski Report for Killington Resort, Vermont
Daily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont
Killington is skiing well for the holidays: base depths are reported around 14 inches at the base and roughly 22 inches at the summit (about 40 cm base / 56 cm mountain), with season totals still tracking well into the deep side for the Green Mountains thanks to recent storms and machine-making efforts. The resort reported 17 of 22 lifts open on the latest update and roughly 66–68% of terrain open (about 78 km of 118 km open on the SkiResort count). New snowfall reports are mixed: OnTheSnow lists conditions from Dec 27 without a clear 24/48‑hour number while SkiResort and J2Ski indicate recent accumulation with the last measurable snow reported around Dec 25 and model forecasts calling for a few centimeters to a couple inches through the next 48 hours. Current weather at the resort is being reported as cold to seasonable with Summit temps commonly colder than the base (models show daytime highs in the 20s–30s °F and overnight lows in the teens to single digits depending on elevation) and winds moderate—conditions that favor preservation of groomed corduroy and some light blower powder when new snow falls. Forecasts for the next five days show a mix of cloudy periods, a chance of light snow showers Monday with a couple inches possible, colder midweek temperatures that could produce dry snow and improved surface quality, and variable winds—so expect a few turns of fresh snow interspersed with firm groomers depending on timing. Pistes are generally a mixture of machine-groomed corduroy and hard-packed snow with variable icy patches in high-traffic or sun-exposed areas; off‑piste remains highly variable—wind scoured ridges and crust can appear after mild sun or wind, while sheltered gullies may hold pockets of soft snow after storms, so route choice and caution are essential. Killington’s season snowfall averages are high for the East (the resort commonly references averages near 250 inches seasonally), and multiple sources note Killington often builds and sustains a deep, skiable base through combined natural and snowmaking efforts. Practical visitor notes: holiday lift hours are in effect with lifts typically running 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. through the holiday window and the Tubing Park open (check the resort app or Beast text alerts for real-time lift/trail status and short‑notice closures). Avalanche risk for in-bounds touring is normally low, but off‑piste and backcountry travel require standard winter safety gear and up‑to‑date local advisories—always check the mountain’s current avalanche and patrol notices before heading beyond marked terrain. For the freshest, minute-by-minute lift and trail counts, snow depths per trail, and any urgent mountain notices, use Killington’s official status page or the resort app which both publish real-time updates and alerts during high-traffic holiday periods.
