Killington Resort and Pico Mountain Guests Can Plan with Confidence, Have Plenty of Space to Ski and Ride
Vermont Business Magazine Vermont’s Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard destination in Eastern North America, has announced further details for its parking reservation system, an important way Killington plans to manage the number of people on property in order to ensure the wellbeing of its guests, staff and community. The parking reservation system, part of Killington’s Operation Stay Safe, will be in place every day of the season and parking spaces must be reserved before arriving to the resort to ensure availability.
“The parking management system means guests will plan their trip to Killington knowing they’re going to have a great experience – they’ll have a spot to park and plenty of room to spread out on the mountain,” says Mike Solimano, president and general manager of Killington Resort and Pico Mountain. “We’re doing everything we can to ensure the longevity of the season. By managing the number of people visiting Killington and Pico at any given time, staff and guests will be able to appropriately physically distance, stay safe and have fun.”
Guests may begin booking Killington reservations at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 5, and at Pico Mountain beginning Thursday, December 3. Skiers and riders will be able to book up to seven advance days throughout the season. Once the season begins, guests will be able to book an unlimited amount of days in the rolling 7-day window. As your advance days fall into the rolling 7-day window, guests will be able to book additional advance days. Advance booking is recommended, and same day reservations can be made, if available, at Killington.com/reserve.
The new parking reservation system, alongside Killington and Pico’s requirement for guests to pre-book passes and experiences, are part of a comprehensive plan to safely get back to skiing and riding. The 2020/21 Killington/Pico plan follows the National Ski Areas Association’s Ski Well, Be Well best practices and includes:
- The requirement for staff and guests to wear masks covering the nose and mouth at all times, except when seated while eating or drinking.
- New protocols for lift queueing and riding to ensure appropriate physical distance.
- Encouragement for guests to be prepared to warm and dine out of their vehicles, given reduced capacity limits in lodges and limited dining and beverage options at resort venues.
- A continued commitment to uphold the highest standards of sanitization to keep staff and guests safe.
Select Killington parking inventory will be available for booking starting at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 5, via Killington.com/reserve. Pico parking inventory will be available for booking beginning Thursday, December 3, via Picomountain.com/reserve. To ensure as many people can ski and ride as possible and remain safe, additional parking inventory will be released and announced on a limited, rolling basis and reflect necessary precautions surrounding the pandemic, user patterns and weather and conditions. A parking reservation system ensures the most equal access to ski and ride at Killington and Pico, across all passholder groups and types of resort visitors. Parking reservation terms and conditions are available here.
