Any recommendation on where to stay for Killington bike park? I've never been and don't know the area. Looking to go this weekend. Thanks!
Where to stay for Killington Bike Park?
- Thread starter iLuveketchup
- Start date
Agree, once you are on killington road you are at the mercy of whatever is open, which is hit or miss in the summer time .

Stayed here a few times. Relatively inexpensive and they have a room where you can store and lock your bikes. They offer a simple continental breakfast but there is an awesome spot 50 yards up the road that has a great breakfast called Back Country Cafe.

This might be an odd question... Would I be able to get around Killington and the surrounding area with a regular car? Are the roads paved? I can bring a truck but would rather drive a car to save on gas.

Hotel and bike pass booked.
I chose a 3day consecutive lift pass and the calendar showed $119 each day. I was like wow! That seems to be a lot per day! Turns out it was $119/3days. Woot! It's on!

Ive stayed with friends at a few places found on VRBO, generally cheaper then winter rental and then you get a whole house. We even stayed at what turned out to be Aaron Chase's house once.

For future reference, is there overnight parking lot camping at Killington bike park?

Yes, the Vale lot is always open to overnight camping/parking. This year they have allowed RV camping in the Ramshead lot as well.

How was the trip?
I was up that weekend too. Amazing weather and trail conditions!

I tweaked my left shoulder at the end of day 1. I suck and lost the front wheel on a smooth trail on the way to the K1 gondola. So I only got 1 full day of riding. Killington Bike Park definitely has a lot more smooth and well-kept trails versus Creek. I do prefer the gnar and chunk of Creek more.
I plan to go back during fall foliage to check out the trails in the area, specifically those around Woodstock (Aquaduct & Mt Peg).
VT is beautiful!

Well that sucks. I guess you did pay $119 for a one day lift ticket.
Sorry to hear it. Hope you’ve recovered without issue.

Thanks! I seem to be ok and getting better each day. It feels like a sore muscle where the traps meet the delts. I should be able to ride by next week. Already getting cabin fever though.Well that sucks. I guess you did pay $119 for a one day lift ticket.
I'm alive and don't need to amputate, so all is well. 🤣

If the Killington trails weren't chunky enough you won't like Aquaduct or Mt Peg. Those are some smooth manicured trails there.
Green Mountain trails are supposed to have good rock gardens but I haven't ridden there.

Anything that can be ridden on a rigid gravel bike is boring IMO. Mt Peg fits that bill.
