Sunshine Daydream and Pond Skimming!
Two of Killington’s best spring events are rolled into one exciting weekend of music and wackiness. The Sunshine Daydream Festival on Saturday features Dead music all day long, including Playin’ Dead as the headliner. In addition to bands playing Grateful Dead covers all day, there will be a mini shakedown, drum circles and tie-dying. Festivities will be held at the K-1 Lodge from 11a.m. until 5 p.m. The event is free, and t-shirts will be available to purchase for tie-dying.
On Sunday it’s time to bust out your clown wigs, witches costumes, knee-long surf shorts, and Mr. Zogg’s Sex Wax for Killington’s Annual Pond Skimming Contest. Taking place in front of the K-1 Lodge, competitors will attempt to skim across Killington’s man-made pond as spectators play a crucial role in determining the winners in a variety of categories including best overall skim, biggest splash and best costume. Pond Skimming kicks off at straight up noon!
Spring Lifts, Terrain at Killington

Congratulations to Local Bumpers!
Killington Mountain School graduate Mike Morse laid down two super fast and technical runs to take home the gold medal at U.S. Freestyle Championships held at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. Morse, originally from Duxbury, MA considers Killington his hometown mountain and after he graduated from KMS in 1999, he went straight to the U.S. Ski Team.
Twelve KMS freestyle athletes made the trek to Park City to compete, including KMS senior, Jillian Kazley, who placed 4th in the Half Pipe competition behind X-Games and U.S. Team athletes. In addition, KMS junior Becca Goldstein surprised everyone to end the season with a 12th place finish in Moguls.
Golf, Slide and Ride!
As the ski season winds down, we’re looking forward to opening day of Killington’s 6,168-yard Geoffrey Cornish designed 18-hole championship course, tentatively set for Friday, May 9. Also, the Pico Mountain Adventure Center opens for the season on Friday, June 27, including the Alpine Slide and the new Pico Power Jump! Killington’s Kona “Groove Approved” Mountain Bike Park and the K-1 Gondola also open June 27.
In the meantime, enjoy the spring corn snow and working on your goggle tan!!

I'll be the one on Ego Alley with red pants, and a helmet with Cornell/Ithaca/NJ Devils/Buckeye (they look like marijuana leafs) stickers on it.
