Lodging Review: Chalet Killington - Killington, Vermont

I have skied Killington, VT on numerous occasions and every visit is an incredible experience. While Killington offers some of the best terrain in New England it also boasts an awesome apres' scene. Whether you arrive the evening before or stay after a hard day of shredding, the Killington experience is not complete without taking advantage of the apres opportunity around you. With a plethora of food and drink options, it's a discredit to make Killington a day-trip destination.

We all know lodging at ski resorts, especially resorts of Killington's caliber, can be a little pricey. Usually the farther away you get from the ski area the more reasonable the accommodations become. Staying at an inconvenient location eliminates the allure of a ski and stay, and this factor of price to location influences travelers to participate in day trips. Most people would rather drive to and from the resort in the same day, if it meant they had to sleep 20 miles out of town to stay within budget. The Chalet Killington offers day-tripers a convenient and economic solution.

The Chalet Killington in Killington, Verrmont is located on the Killington access road 1.5 miles from the K-1 gondola. It is extremely easy to find and book your reservations. The Chalet accommodations include cable TV, lounge, game room, restaurant, outdoor heated pool and free wifi. The rooms are clean and most can sleep 3-4 shredders comfortably. The restaurant, Baja Burrito, is open for dinner and serves mexican/american food with your choice of draft beers or margaritas. The Chalet is also open for breakfast from 7:30 am to 9:00 am, which is included in the price of the room. Eggs, pancakes, sausage, bagels... The free hot breakfast selection is awesome!

The Chalet is a perfect location with all the amenities to convert a conventional day-trip skier into a one-night-Killington-regular. Skiers and riders can stay mid-week for under $100 a night! Yes you heard it right, under $100 per room mid-week. If you have four people who want to shred Killington, it will cost you each $25 for a bed and early morning pancakes. Now that's a deal!

Problem: You plus three buddies want to party the night before skiing, have a hot breakfast, catch first chair, rip some of the sickest terrain in New England and not have to wake up at 5 am.

Solution: Chalet Killington!
