Killington - Snowdon Six Express

Snowdon Six Express is a six-person detachable bubble chairlift located at Killington Ski Resort. The chairlift runs from the base of Snowdon Mountain, up to the summit of Snowdon Mountain. From the top of the chairlift, skiers and riders may access all of Snowdon's terrain, which consists of a variety of intermediate and advanced terrain, as well as the Canyon and North Ridge areas via the Killink trail. The chairlift features blue bubbles, protecting riders from inclement weather. The chairlift was manufactured by Leitner-Poma and installed at the resort in 2018. The chairlift replaced the 1992 Poma Snowdon fixed-grip quad, which was relocated to the South Ridge area at the resort. This lift was a much needed upgrade, completely changing Snowdon from a place you rarely ski due to long and slow lifts, to one of the most popular spots on the mountain. Killington Ski Resort is a ski resort located in Killington, Vermont. The ski resort is located in the Central part of the state and is located just East of Rutland. The ski resort is the largest in the East in terms of skiable area and is the tallest ski area in New England in terms of vertical drop. The ski resort is comprised of 6 distinct different peaks: Killington, the largest of the peaks, provides great views and has a variety of intermediate and advanced terrain, both groomed and ungroomed; Snowdon is home to the ski area's only bubble lift and is home to mostly wide-open, intermediate groomed trails; Ramshead, one of the more family-friendly areas, is home to lots of beginner and easier intermediate terrain, as well as a few terrain parks; Snowshed, the ski resort's main beginner area; Skye which is home to a large variety of trails including Superstar, one of the most famous trails at Killington which is known for both hosting the FIS Race in November and often being the final trail to close in the East, and Great Eastern, a very long winding green trail; and Bear Peak, which is most famous for its steep mogul runs but is also home to a variety of terrain. The ski resort is owned by Powdr Corp, which also owns nearby Pico. Killington lift tickets are also valid at Pico but not vice-versa. The ski resort is a partner on the Ikon Pass. As of the 2021-2022 season, Ikon Pass holders have access to 7 unrestricted days at Killington/Picco, while Ikon Base Pass holders have access to 5 days of skiing at Killington/Pico with blackout days.
