Killington Kicking Off Snowboard Season.

According to Mike from the Ski the East- blog Killington is kicking off the 2008/09 ski and snowboard season.

Killington has always been the perennial early season opener and it’s good see them leading the pack again this season!

Killington Ski Resort is located in Killington, Vermont. The resort consists of seven mountains, and has 200 trails and 33 chair lifts. Killington has the longest ski season in eastern North America and provides optimal skiing for skiers of all levels. Lessons are available at the Perfect Turn Ski School.

Killington averages 250 inches of natural snow each winter. That, coupled with a snow making system that covers 70% of the trails, has allowed Killington to offer what is often the longest skiing season in eastern North America, typically lasting from October to May. It covers more terrain with snow than most resorts have terrain. Also, Killington experiences a lot more snow than areas around it.
