Located in central Vermont, 200 trails and 33 lifts extend across seven mountain peaks. The main peak, Killington Peak (4,241 ft, 1293 m), is the second highest in Vermont and has the greatest vertical drop in the east (3,050 feet, 930 m) after Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, New York, (3,430 feet, 1045 m). Six of the peaks of Killington are interconnected. The seventh, Pico Peak, operated as an independent ski area until 1996, when it was purchased by Killington's parent company, American Skiing Company. There are plans to connect Killington and Pico with a series of lifts and trails.

Killington averages 250 inches of natural snow each winter. That, coupled with a snowmaking system that covers 70% of the trails, has allowed Killington to offer what is often the longest skiing season in eastern North America, typically lasting from October to April.
