Vermontโ€™s Killington Resort, the largest mountain resort in Eastern North America and a POWDR company, is opening with summer operations this Memorial Day Weekend. Killington will open the 18-hole Golf Course Saturday, May 23 to Vermont residents and those non-residents whoโ€™ve quarantined for 14 days and the Bike Park Saturday, June 6 to pass holders only, pending Gov. Phil Scottโ€™s approval of the Killington Mountain Biking operations plan, which we have updated to ensure the safety of our guests, staff, and community given COVID-19.

โ€œAs we transition into summer operations, weโ€™ve made the tough decision to not reopen for skiing and riding. Given our commitment to early and late season skiing, it was hard to close the door on the 2019-20 ski season, but we feel fortunate to have enjoyed the longest season in the East โ€“ 133 days, despite the early closure โ€“ and to be offering our guests the Passholder Promise as an assurance for the future.โ€

– Mike Solimano, president and general manager of Killington Resort

Killingtonโ€™s first priority remains the safety and wellbeing of our staff, guests, and the greater community. The resort will continue to closely monitor COVID-19 and follow all local, state, and national regulations, which may require operational adjustments throughout the summer. The reopening of Vermontโ€™s economy is being carefully managed by state authorities, and itโ€™s of utmost importance that we all follow the guidelines and do our part to reopen safely.
