Ski Report for Killington Resort, VermontDaily Ski Conditions for Killington Resort, Vermont# Killington Resort Snow Report & Conditions**Current Snow Depths and Base Conditions**Killington is firing up the season with 56 cm of packed powder at the summit and 40 cm at the base. While these depths are modest for early December, the resort has been working hard to supplement natural snow with artificial snowmaking since opening on November 12th. The current snowpack is entirely machine-groomed at this point, which is typical for early season conditions when natural snowfall is still unpredictable.**Recent Snowfall Activity**The last natural snowfall hit the mountain on November 23rd, so things have been relatively quiet on the powder front lately. Over the past 24 hours through early December 2nd, minimal new snow has accumulated—less than 1 cm at both the summit and base. However, the forecast is about to change dramatically. Expect around 9 cm of fresh snow to blanket the mountain on December 2nd and 3rd, which should significantly improve conditions for midweek skiing.**What's Open Right Now**Currently, 21 of the resort's 118.4 kilometers of terrain is open, translating to about 18% of available slopes. That means only 4 of the 22 lifts are spinning, so expect some crowds on the limited terrain. Snowshed is highlighted as the best area for beginners and anyone easing back into the season. While this seems sparse, it's fairly standard for early December before the holiday rush and additional natural snow arrives.**Temperature and Current Weather**Today started in the upper 20s and low 30s Fahrenheit, with partly cloudy skies dominating the forecast. Conditions have been relatively cold and crisp—perfect for snow preservation and snowmaking operations. The next few days will see temperatures dropping into the teens and single digits Fahrenheit, particularly at higher elevations, which is ideal for maintaining the snowpack through the coming snowfall.**Five-Day Forecast Outlook**The next five days paint an exciting picture for Killington enthusiasts. December 2nd looks promising with 9 cm of new snow expected and highs around negative 7 degrees Celsius, followed by another dusting of less than 1 cm on December 3rd. December 4th brings another 2 cm of fresh powder before the pattern stabilizes. By the weekend, conditions should be mostly dry with variable temperatures and partly sunny skies. This mid-week snowfall should substantially improve base depths and open up additional terrain by the time skiers and riders descend on the mountain for the holiday season.**Off-Piste and Backcountry Considerations**Given the early season timing and current snow depths, off-piste skiing should be approached cautiously. The thin base means rocks and hazards lurk just beneath the surface in many areas. Always assess local avalanche risk and ski with appropriate safety equipment if venturing off-groomed terrain.**Looking Ahead**December is statistically the fourth-best month for snow quality at Killington, and with the high annual average of 164 inches of snowfall, conditions typically improve as the season progresses. While January and February traditionally offer more reliable snow coverage and open terrain, December offers something special—the festive holiday atmosphere combined with fewer crowds on the mountain. The upcoming snowfall mid-week should breathe new life into conditions and have more terrain spinning before the busy December holidays arrive. Keep an eye on that forecast; this could be the push that gets Killington looking like a proper winter playground sooner than expected.The best deals on gear https://amzn.to/49QUryFThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
