Nightlife

The five mile downhill run of action that is The Killington Access Road has no equal. Their are OVER 100 bars, night clubs & restaurants on this 1 stretch of road! Just before the lifts shut down, happy hours commence with free wings, shrimp and other cheap eats. Solo guitarists, amazing bands, fine dining, local & national D.J's provide the entertainment. Just ask Wild on E. Entertainment TV who ranked Killington as the #1 Apre Ski Party mountain in America.

Don't stay out too late! Killington's lifts crank at 8 am weekends and holidays, and 9 am weekdays all season long.
