Veterans ski, bike or golf free on Monday
Vermont Business Magazine Vermont’s Killington Resort, the largest mountain resort in Eastern North America and a POWDR company, will be the only ski resort in the Northeast open Memorial Day Weekend for skiing and riding, mountain biking, and golfing. Not only will skiers and riders enjoy the last lift-accessed snow in Vermont, but they’ll be able to ski and ride Superstar, the same trail which will host the Stifel Killington Cup over Thanksgiving Weekend 2024.
Veterans are invited to participate in the sport of their choice for free on Monday, May 27, and Beast 365 passholders can earn a free t-shirt by participating in all three sports over the course of the four days. We anticipate the mountain bike trails on Snowshed to be 100% open. Be sure to check the conditions report daily, as Mother Nature may affect skiing and riding operations.
In addition to a multi-sport weekend, the Killington Stage Race will culminate at Killington May 25-27, and the Total Archery Challenge will take place May 24-26 at Pico Mountain, kicking off a jam-packed summer events schedule. Don’t miss out on the return of the Fox US Open of Mountain Biking on September 26-29 or our weekly free concert series, Cooler in the Mountains. The full events schedule can be found at Killington.com/events.
