Killington snow report
The longest season in eastern North America, and both ends of it are engineered rather than weather-driven. Snowmaking covers 71% of the trails, and the stockpile on Superstar carries both the November World Cup and a closing date in late May. The October openings it is famous for stopped in 2018.

Why it snows here
Atlantic nor'easters form on the contrast between cold Canadian air and the Gulf Stream and track up the coast, heaviest from November to March. With a 1,293 m summit over a 355 m base, the rain-snow line inside one of those storms routinely sits inside the ski area itself: dry snow on the peak, rain at the bottom.
Reading Killington like a forecaster
The number that matters most at Killington is the difference between the base (355 m) and the summit (1293 m): when the freezing level sits between the two, the mountain is split into rain or wet snow below and dry snow above. The Ski Meter reads the model at both elevations and scores the day with every point accounted for; the full report adds hourly timing, accumulation ranges and confidence tags so you can decide when to travel, not just whether.
