Say No to El Nino

Ringing in the New Year at Sunrise? Don’t let these warm temperatures get you down. Killington snowmakers are saying no to El Nino as they work their tuchuses off to keep as many trails open as possible. While trail access is limited, there are still turns to be made, so be sure to check out the daily report during your visit.

We get that you may not have full days on the slopes due to the atypical weather trend, so to help ensure there is never a dull moment during your visit, we have created a list of local activities. Take a look!
