On the slopes

If you choose to ski Killington, it's great for intermediates, with close to 40% of the 220 trails designated for this level. However, with this much terrain, everyone will be happy - 32 lifts cover 1,182 acres of slopes. Although the snow is usually pretty reliable, backup is provided by snowmaking machines that cover 70 percent of the slopes. Boarders are also well catered for with a beach super-pipe, three terrain parks with jibs, table-tops, kickers and even a boardercross available. So skiing and snowboarding in Vermont is going to please almost everyone in your party.

Off the slopes

Apràs-ski is big here - Killington ski resort is a big party town - with favourite spot including the Birchridge Inn and Hemingway's for the gourmet crowd, while for those on a more modest budget Pizza Jerk has great pizzas, as does Outback bar, with its roaring fire. Away from the slopes you can visit some lovely New England towns, or if shopping is your game, head to the factory outlet shops in Manchester to stock up on DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and Nike.
