Best of the East but still not the West
Fri 9 November 2007 Butchie
Killington is definetly the best resort I've seen in the Eastern US. It beats other New England resorts for size and somewhat challenging terrain and puts to shame anything else in the Appalacian range. Its certainly the place to go if you are on the Eastern Seaboard and want to drive. However, if you are already at the airport "go west young man". The diamond runs here would barely make blues in the Rockies or Coast Mountains, and the length of the runs are incomparable. They've done alot with what they've got, but if you want a serious ride West is always best.
