We’re cruising into the new year with a lineup of fun activities for the whole family. Admittedly, the weather hasn’t been ideal for the holiday week, but our team has made the most of it and we’re looking forward to the return of snowmaking temperatures this weekend. The forecast is calling for a chance of natural snow as well, and we believe there’s no better way to kick off the year than with the wind in your face and snow under your base. Check out the conditions report for the most up-to-date information on conditions or download the app for real-time updates in the palm of your hand.
If you’re new to The Beast, good news! Our Meet the Mountain Tours have kicked off for the season. They are a great way to get a feel for the resort, as our friendly mountain ambassadors show you around. Tours are free and take place daily at 10:00 and 11:00 a.m., weather permitting. Meet your tour guide in the courtyard at Snowshed Base Lodge and hit the slopes for a 75-90 minute tour of Killington Resort, appropriate for experienced novice and higher ability levels.
Before the ball drops on Sunday night, we’ll continue to celebrate the holidays with Kid’s Corner activities Friday and Saturday afternoon from 4:00-5:30 p.m. in the Snowshed Lodge. Bring the little ones for arts and crafts including customizable slap bracelets and cookie decorating, plus our coloring corner and board games. For the adults, don’t miss out on table service and the unique menu at the Long Trail Pub on the 3rd floor of Snowshed. And be sure to stop by the Ramshead or Snowshed Base Lodges on Friday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. for a Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Social we’re sure you Pecan’t Resist, with free ice cream samples (while supplies last!)
Then we will send 2023 out in style, with festivities all day long on New Year's Eve. Stop by the K-1 Lodge for live music starting at 2:30 p.m. from the Aaron Audet Band, and fun for the kids starting at 4:00 p.m. including mask making, coloring and board games, as well as free s’mores and hot cocoa (while supplies last). DJ Dave will be spinning tunes on the patio from 4:00-6:00 p.m. and our grooming team will put on a show starting at 5:00 p.m. with a parade in front of the K-1 Lodge. Immediately following the groomer parade, catch a fireworks display presented by Kona Big Wave.
Cap off the year at the official Wobbly Barn New Year’s Party featuring Stereo Social Club. Their vibrant, genre-blending music isn't just original; they're also known for putting their unique spin on popular tunes, giving them a fresh, energetic vibe that's all their own. With powerful vocals and an electric stage presence, Stereo Social Club will be sure to have you dancing into 2024.
