Spring in Killington is a friendly tug of war between winter and summer.
One day you’re taking sunny laps on Superstar in a t-shirt; the next, the first golf rounds and bike rides of the year are calling. Killington is known for one of the longest ski seasons in the East, so spring brings the best of both worlds — soft snow and lively slopeside parties up high, and lakes, streams and trails waking up below.
Spring skiing, slopeside competitions, the first casts of fishing season and the return of golf and biking — here’s what the season has in store.
Killington is known for one of the longest ski seasons in the East, often continuing well into spring when conditions allow — back in 1982, it famously offered lift-served skiing into June for the first time. Sunny laps on Superstar, outdoor drinks at the Superstar Umbrella Bar and live music make spring skiing a Killington tradition. See skiing & riding details.

A local favorite for over 40 years, Bear Mountain hosts this amateur mogul skiing competition and the springtime party that surrounds it. Watch the thrills and spills on Outer Limits and join the lively tailgating scene with live music. See all signature events.
Each spring, Pico Mountain welcomes archers from around the country for the Total Archery Challenge, a multi-day outdoor 3D archery experience spread across mountain terrain, with challenging courses, vendors and a festival atmosphere. Learn more about Pico.
Area lakes and streams are stocked with trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch and more. Popular spots include Kent Pond, Colton Pond and the Ottauquechee River. A Vermont fishing license is required.

As the snow melts, the warm-weather season begins. Killington’s 18-hole golf course typically opens in late spring, and the area offers two 18-hole courses in all. Mountain bikers can look forward to Killington Bike Park, Pine Hill Park and Slate Valley Trails as trails dry out and open for the season. See golf & bike park details.
Where to go: Golf, biking & recreation
Spring is a quieter, easygoing time to explore the region. Visit nearby villages like Woodstock and historic Plymouth, find covered bridges and waterfalls running high with snowmelt, and browse the shops along Killington Road and Route 4.
