Killington Peak

As promised by Killington president Chris Nyberg, Powdr Corp announced season pass prices for the upcoming 2007/2008 ski season at Killington.

When purchased by July 31, adults can enjoy unlimited skiing and riding next season at Killington and Pico for $999. For young adults and seniors, the price is $799. The price for children and super seniors is $699.

Again this season, the mountain will provide a Killington and Pico Black Out Pass. The price for all ages is $599 for this pass product which includes 18 black out days. The black out days include 11/23-11/24/07, 12/26/07-1/1/08, 1/19/08-1/20/08 and 2/16/08-2/22/08. For those who want to only ski mid week, a Killington/Pico mid week pas is priced at $299. All pass prices do not include 6% VT Sales tax.

Several item stand out on the pass price announcement. First, the prices listed are valid until July 31. There is no mention of pass pricing after that date, other than to mention that a Pico Only and College Pass will be announced in August. Secondly, there is a new payment plan this year. If you order your pass via credit card, 50% of the price will be charged with the order. The balance will be charged on August 31, allowing credit payments to be spread out for pass purchasers.

Of note, there is also a disclaimer in the pass offering stating: "A Killington/Pico season pass is valid from mid-November through mid-April, weather and snow conditions permitting, providing access to more than 1,200 acres of the most diverse skiing and riding terrain in New England served by 32 lifts." What that means about potential opening/closing dates for skiing and riding at Killington next season is anyones guess. We will have to stay tuned.. So it goes.

Complete information on Killington's season pass products can be found on Killington's web site. Of course, while we are thinking about the coming winter season at Killington, it is just a beautiful June day here in the mountains. Where ever you may be, keep it in the fairway, and don't forget the sunscreen.
