Killington open through Saturday , May 2
Here is the plan:
Bear Mountain and Needle's Eye are open through Sunday, April 5. Snowshed and Killington Peak (Including the K-1 Gondola) open through Sunday, April 12.
April 13 through Saturday, May 2, Superstar lift will run serving Superstar, Bittersweet and Skyelark.
Enjoy!
Of course, it is all weather and snow depending!

- The weather is always spotty. Saturday might be bad, Sunday might be good.

I guess there's always Sunday, April 26th...

While it's better than last year, it's still one of Killington's earliest closings ever, and why aren't you operating on May 3rd????

well I guess I'll be that someone.....they should really keep K1 gondi/area open until April 19th...sounded a lot better when this was posted:

Just got official word that Killington Resort will be open until May 2 unless extraordinarily bad weather prevents it.

Killington will run in their normal spring mode through April 19 and then switch to just Superstar running daily through May 2.

:beer:

awesome news..a little bit of the old Killington!!!!! The latest I skied the Big K was May 20th of 2002..but in 1997 they were open until around June 20th

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

if it was official you would think it would be on killington.com

I don't see anything about it there, unless I'm missing it

wait this is a rumoruke:

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Closing on Saturday May 2nd, while trying to sell passes, is BAD publicity.

alot of ski areas close for the season on a Saturday,..get over it and be happy they are going to go so long..quit bitching and just ski..

I'm with you on that one. Although the snowmaking troubles on Double Dipper earlier this season may have impacted their ability to keep the Canyon area open.

Three weeks of Superstar, if there's still snow in other areas, seems a little monotonous. I could see cutting back to Superstar during the week, but run K-1 and Canyon the 18th and 19th. Especially if a bunch of other places are out of it by then and coverage is still decent.

Is Superstar going to be ungroomed top to bottom those last three weeks?

Not any of the ones I ski at....only the lame ones. Like Ski Sundown.

Yet another brilliant post by Killington's most uninformed poster.

Perfect, I need some entertainment....

Shocker that you don't ski any of the true classic skiers' mountains that are all closed like Magic, MRG (save noon-4 tomorrow) and Sundown.
