“It’s on! First run of 2023/24 in the books.”
Killington Ski Resort in Vermont has become the first ski resort (***correction, the second as Sommet Saint-Sauveur in Quebec opened yesterday…my bad apologies***) on the East Coast to open up for 2023/2024 winter operation but don’t go running down to thinking you can buy a day pass because they aren’t for sale. Killington’s first day is a “passholder appreciation day” reserved exclusively for folks with a season pass. Daily lift tickets won’t be available until tomorrow when the open to the general public. As of today they have two lifts spinning accessing two trails. Cheers to Killington!
“Hooray! The 2023-24 winter season starts today, at 10:00 a.m. with a passholder appreciation day!”
SNOW REPORTER’S UPDATE
November 3, 2023 – 06:59 am
Hooray! The 2023-24 winter season starts today, at 10:00 a.m. with a passholder appreciation day! After opening day, the K-1 Express Gondola will spin from 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. (last ride up at 3:00 p.m.) and North Ridge Quad will spin from 9:00 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. every day. We’ll use the Peak Walkway to get to and from the North Ridge Area for skiing and snowboarding – yes walking is required. All skiers and riders will download the K-1 Gondola at the end of the day. Skiing and snowboarding will be on advanced terrain only, with a Woodward Mountain Park in the North Ridge area on Reason.
This year in lieu of an opening day gift, opening day skiers and riders will also be able to choose from one of three charities – Burton Chill, Yes Kids and The Snow Angel Foundation – and Killington Resort will donate $10 in their honor. The team carefully selected these charities that support our snow sports community and align with our Play Forever initiatives. We know guests look forward to the opening day gift but hope you’ll see this gesture as a positive way to give back.
We’ve also been busy making snow on Superstar from top to bottom in anticipation for the Stifel Killington Cup.
Woodward Mountain Parks
Choose from 7 S,M,L Features on Reason, including one jump!
