Killington opens Thursday

KILLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Killington Resort kicks off its ski season Thursday.

While day one will be for pass holders only, the lifts are open to everyone on Friday.

It marks the “Beast of the East’s” first season as an independent resort and promises “big things in the coming years.”

As usual, Kilington is the first resort to open in Vermont — and most of the region — and comes ahead of the return of the Stifel Killington Cup November 29 – December 1.
