NTM: Killington and Mount Snow Phase In New Base Lodges

December 23, 2019 by braveskimom

By Martin Griff Killington Resort management had a dilemma.  The K-1 Base Lodge at the popular resort in central Vermont was old and obsolete. It was constructed in 1959 (happy 60th birthday!) with a number of additions slapped on over its lifetime.  A replacement built in the same spot as the old lodge would take […]

February 26, 2019 by braveskimom

By Martin Griff How long will Vermont’s Sugarbush Resort be celebrating its 60th anniversary? If the 50th is any indication, figure 10 years, but since Sugarbush is canine friendly we can count the time in dog years. Sugarbush turned 50 during the 2008-09 season and the sign on the Valley House base lodge noting the […]

February 5, 2018 by braveskimom

When Vail Resorts announced the purchase of Vermont’s Stowe Mountain Resort in 2017, the reaction was predictable. Some people were happy. Some people were not. Everyone wondered what it would mean for the resort. Stowe Mountain Resort is unique in that before 2016, it was independently owned and unaffiliated with any other ski resorts. The previous […]

Terrain Based Learning™ at Killington Makes Learning to Ski and Snowboard Easier

January 29, 2018 by braveskimom

children's ski school at killington

Do you remember learning how to ski or snowboard? I started as a three-year-old and I remember two things in particular. Crying when I slid off the Poma lift. Eating snacks I would normally not have been given at home (parents bribing kids – some things never change!) And while I don’t remember much of […]
