Climate for your stay in Killington vacation homes
Thanks to abundant snowfall and powerful snow-making technology, winter season in Killington Ski Resort generally kicks off in October and runs until May, and the complex is busiest at this time. You'll have a better chance of getting cheap Killington vacation rentals after March, and there'll also be shorter queues and fewer skiers to dodge on the slopes—just bear in mind that the resort's hours of operation are more limited. Come June, the season ends as temperatures rise; check out the facility's summertime programs to make the most of these balmier conditions.
