Hotels & Ski Resorts In Killington, Vermont, USA
Killington is a small town (population: 2,000) in Rutland County, Vermont, USA, famous on the travel scene because of the largest ski area in the eastern part of North America. There are many excellent ski resorts in USA, but Killington can be considered the best of all, even if it is not the most popular amongst skier. Several factors come to consolidate the leading position of this mountain resort. First, there are 141 trails (28% easy, 33% intermediate, 39% difficult) and about 30 lifts stretching on seven mountain peaks - Killington Peak, Skye Peak, Ramshead Peak, Snowdon Peak, Bear Mountain Peak, Sunrise Mountain Peak, and Pico Peak. The total skiing area in Killington is about 752 acres, the total length of the trails is 71 miles (135 kilometers), and consequently the 17,000 skier who visit the resort of Killington every day in the high season have enough space to take action into a non-crowded environment. Secondly, the annually snowfall is roughly 250 inches (6,35 meters), while the lift system is projected to avoid any crowd on the slopes: 2 gondola, 5 express quad, 4 quad, 4 triples, 2 doubles, 5 surface lifts, with a total capacity of 37,535 per hour.
Alpine skiing and other winter sports like cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are the favorite daytime activities in Killington during winter, but the town offers many other tourist attractions. There are plenty of restaurants with fine cuisine, shops, spa centers and nightlife venues. To the main points of interest belong Killington Golf Course, Killington School for Tennis, Killington Pico Adventure Center, President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site, and others. However, Killington is a year-round travel destination, in summer tourists having plenty of things to do as well: rock climbing, mountain biking, trekking, river rafting, fishing, golf playing, nature walking and much more.
