Killington's Spring Saga: Celebrating the Resilience of New England's Die-Hard Skiers

Ski Report for Killington Resort, Vermont

Daily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont

Welcome to Killington, Vermont—where the die-hards thrive and the legends of spring skiing are written with every sun-crusted patch of snow and every mud-skipping traverse. If you’re thinking like a local this week, you already know that the mountain has just wrapped up its 2024–25 season, a wild ride driven by late storms, rain, and plenty of New England grit. The final turns were carved out on May 10, after a persistent week of soaking rains and mild temps that turned much of the mountain into a slushy, patchy playground—truly, a rite of passage for any Killington regular[3][5].

As of now, there’s no snow left to track at the base or summit—spring has reclaimed the mountain. Snow and trail reports are officially on pause, with zero lifts and zero trails open. That’s right—after squeezing every last drop out of the season, Killington’s lifts have paused, letting the slopes rest before summer activities take over[4]. The last official numbers before close showed just a couple of lifts running for the die-hards, but now it’s all about mountain biking, golf, and soaking in the green valley views[2][1].

For the record books, this season was a mixed bag—lots of ups and downs, with some great powder days and, as always, a heap of variable conditions. The PNW might get the deep powder, but here on the Ice Coast, we’re all about making the most of whatever Mother Nature serves up. While there were zero powder days or bluebird powder days lately, the resort did log a few classic bluebird days for the spring crowd[4]. As for season snowfall, exact totals aren’t published in the latest reports, but locals know: it wasn’t the deepest year, but it was enough to keep the stoke high through the late spring.

Now, let’s talk weather—because around here, it’s always a topic of conversation. The current vibe? Cool, damp, and quintessentially Vermont. With recent storms and more wet, cold weather ahead, the mountain is now switching gears[2][1]. If you’re looking for current temps, expect daytime highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, with nighttime lows dipping into the 40s or even high 30s—pretty typical for late May.

Looking ahead, the forecast for the next five days is a bit of a roller coaster. More rain is expected, with cool nights and mild days, so if you’re still dreaming of winter, you’ll have to wait until next season. The good news? All that moisture is great for the greens—perfect timing for hitting the links or exploring the mountain bike trails instead.

And finally, a special notice for anyone planning to visit: with skiing officially done for the season, make sure to check the Killington website for updates on summer operations and any special events. You can still book lodging through the resort and take advantage of early summer deals—just don’t expect to find any piste or off-piste turns left for now. If you’re coming for the legendary spring skiing vibe, mark your calendar for next season and get ready to join the ranks of those who know: at Killington, it’s not about perfect powder—it’s about passion, persistence, and the pure joy of being on the mountain, no matter what the snow (or lack of it!) looks like[3][5].

So grab your mud-season boots, or your mountain bike, and join the locals in celebrating another wild season on the Ice Coast. Killington may be closed for skiing, but the spirit of adventure here never sleeps.
