Killington, Vermont— The number of open lifts and ski resorts in North America diminishes each passing week. Killington Resort, typically one of the last ski resorts on the continent to close, shut down various chairlifts for the season on Sunday, including the North Ridge Quad, Ramshead, and Snowdon Six. This means that currently, the only operating chairlift is the Superstar Express.
However, Killington surprised guests this week by announcing that the K-1Gondola will reopen on Saturday. They initially announced last weekend that K-1 would be done for the winter on April 21st, so guests are stoked about the announcement. It will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Meanwhile, the operating plan for the Superstar Express is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
The Superstar Express will remain open daily until May 5th and then transition to weekend-only operations. With a maximum depth of 340″ this season, the Superstar Glacier will be around for a while. June skiing and riding could be in the cards.
