Killington has left the building... Sort of.

Killington remains on the IKON pass.

...for the foreseeable future.

Killington skiers get a maximum of 7 days of skiing on the IKON pass. 

Killington is still included in the session passes, as well.

If you want to ski Killington or Pico for more than 7 days, you have to go to the Killington website and purchase a different pass. Pricing is a bit complicated... not to mention, just a tad expensive.

If you just want a day pass, it becomes more complicated.

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS....

Here's a breakdown for day passes.  It features prorated pricing:

The projected start date is November 8th.

The first two Saturdays (11/8 and 11/15) are $72 per day.

The first two Sundays (11/9 and 11/16) are $80 per day.

The first two Mondays (11/10 and 11/17) are $74 per day (yes, you read that right.  Mondays are more expensive than Saturdays).

The remainder of those weeks, including Fridays, are $68 per day.

As of November 22, everything goes up.

Saturday the 22nd is $99, and Saturday the 28th (Thanksgiving weekend) is $130 for the day.

Sunday the 23rd is $92 and the 29th is $130. 

Thanksgiving week 11/24, 11/25, and 11/26 (M-W) is $85 per day.  Thursday (Thanksgiving day) and Friday 11/27 and 11/28 are both  $111 per day.

...and that's just November.

Here's the calendar as published on the Killington website as of 8/20/25:

So, for May and June, the days that don't list prices aren't available for pre-purchase.  As far as I understand it, that doesn't mean they wont be open, it just means you can't pre-purchase.  Which is, of course, dependent upon the weather.

Now, for season passes, There are 13 (yes, you read that right, THIRTEEN) options, NOT including the separate pricing by age.

The highest end pass is the Beast 365 pass at $2,069.  It includes unlimited Killington/Pico access, 50+ Ikon Base Pass destinations, and "summer fun".  Basically, it's an IKON base pass with full season access to K-Mart and Pico. 

By comparison, an IKON unlimited pass (up to 7 days at any IKON location) is $1,429.

The Killington only pass is the Killington Unlimited pass at $1,469 which includes unlimted skiing at Killington and Pico with "perks".  That comes with a free child pass for children 6 and under.

Next is the Killington Midweek Pass  at $829, which is good Monday through Friday, and excludes select restricted dates: Dec. 29, 2025-Jan. 2, 2026 and Feb. 16, 2026.

Pass number 4 is the Vermont Student Pass  at $569.  It's for all vermont students from levels K-12 and it includes perks.  It requires proof of residency and has no blackout days.

From here, you can purchase add-ons.  In other words, you need some level of season pass to puchase the following options:

The Fast Tracks Season Pass allows you to skip the lines for an additional $699, and it's valid from 12/20 to 4/5.  You can use it with any lift ticket/season pass.

There's also the Fast Tracks 4 Day Pack for $239, which gives you express lane access on any 4 days, Dec 20–Apr 5. You can use it with any lift ticket/season pass.

Now we move on to parking-  my pet peeve. 

You can purchase the K-1 Preferred Parking Pass for $729, which allows you to park in the preferred lot next to the K-1 Gondola.  For the Killington faithful, this sucks, because we used to park at the edge of the trail there, put our boots on in the car, then step right up to the trail and ski down to the Snowdon Quad to head up the hill.  It was especially advantageous on warmer days because you could throw your lunch and a lawn chair in the trunk, and avoid the lodge entirely. 

Paid.

Parking.

Sucks.

So much for being rewarded for getting to the ski area early.  Now the Maseratis and Porche Cayennes can park together, where the elite only have each other to yell at.

You can rent a  7' tall, 15" wide, and 18" deep seasonal locker at Snowshed, which starts AFTER FEBRUARY 9th for $499.

Lesson packages:

The 4241' Club gets purchasers over the age of 18, 12 Saturday lessons, starting February 1st for $939.

The Beast Kids Pass is group lessons for ages 4-15 and costs $2,569. It's on Saturdays and Sundays from January 3-March 15, 2026 and holidays January 19 and February 16, 2026 (A total of 24 sessions).  Otherwse known as the "dump off the kids so mommy and daddy can go drink in the lodge" pass.

Drop off/ Pick up: Drop off by 8:45a.m. at the Drop t's Zone located slopeside outside of the Ramshead Lodge and pick up at 3:00p.m. in the same location

Lunch: Includes lunch.

Adult Tuesday Ski Sessions are open to intermediate and advanced skiers.  There are 8 sessions on Tuesdays (January 6, 13, 20, 27 February 3, 10, 24 and March 3.) from10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m at Snowshed Base Area and cost $349.  This is a GREAT deal.  I recommend it for everyone.

Women's Midweek Sessions meet on Thursdays for 8 sessions on January 8, 15, 22, 29, February 5, 12, 26 and March 5 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at Snowshed Base Area for $349.  ANother great deal...

Also, formerly known as the "Women's Ski Scrapers" (Women's ski Escape).

Then, last but not least, you can get a Season Tune for $229 at Snowshed.

So, that's how things have shaken out at the Beast of the East.

Remember, the World Cup race normally scheduled at Killington will be in Colorado this year, because of the Superstar chair upgrade. 

Lastly, for what it's worth, end of season skiing on Dipper was really good last season.  While the tradition for the past few decades has been to end the season on Superstar, skiing up in the canyon wasn't a bad option, and it reminded me of years past, before Superstar became the end of season party place.

So far, Killington seems to be enjoying it's freedom, and I think they're making the "beast" of it.
