Killington Ski Resort, USA
Brillliant skiing on the biggest mountain in the East
Claiming to have the largest mountain, largest number of quad chairs, most snowmaking ability and the longest season in the East, the ski resort of Killington has a lot to say for itself. The sometimes complex network of trails covers 6 peaks, all of which have good terrain for most levels of skiier. Although there is no real resort centre, (the 'resort' is spread over a 5 mile stretch), there is a lively apres ski scene. Having a car is a real advantage, even though the buses are good, and with good board and terrain parks, there is plenty to keep all types of mountain user happy.
