Killington, VT Ski Trip Feb 19-22, 2026

This weekend I went on a ski trip with 7 other people to Killington, VT. I am a very new to skiing as this is my first season trying it. I literally had a beginner lesson in December and have gone to a local mountain a few other times.

Highlights of this trip:

-I completed my first BLUE route!! Green is beginner, blue is intermediate. This is huge for only going a few times prior.

-Everyone else except one person is an advanced skiier and they said that me and the other beginner girl Gina (she is a snowboarder) are the best beginners they've ever had on a trip!

-I got to spend quality time with my boyfriend's run club friends who I am developing friendships with.

-I now have a new Winter hobby to look forward to! I consider myself pretty outdoorsy, so to pickup a winter sport I think is going to be so good for my mental health when it becomes cold.

-It's fun learning new things in your 30s.

-I've never been to Killington before so I get to check that off as a new place for me.

-We shared a car with another couple for the six-hour drive and had a lot of fun getting to know eachother on a deeper level and made some inside jokes along the way

Killington Resort, Vermont

I was in Vermont on business, so after I finished in Rutland, I drove over the mountain to visit Killington. The resort prides itself in the length of its season, usually opening in late autumn and closing as far as possible into spring.
