Killington - Snowdon Triple
Snowdon Triple is a three-person fixed-grip chairlift located at Killington Ski Resort. The chairlift runs from the K-1 Base Area, up to the summit of Snowdon Mountain. The chairlift is one of two chairlifts, the other being the Snowdon Six Express, which runs from the bottom to the top of Snowdon Mountain. The triple typically only runs on holidays since the construction of the new six-pack. From the top of the chairlift, skiers and riders may access all of Snowdon's terrain, consisting of intermediate and advanced trails, as well as the North Ride and Canyon areas via Killink. The chairlift was manufactured by Heron-Poma and installed at the resort in 1973, helping to allieviate the Snowdon Double, the other chairlift on the mountain at the time.

Killington - Ramshead Express Quad
Ramshead Express Quad is a four-person detachable chairlift located at Killington Ski Resort. The chairlift runs from the Ramshead Base Area, up to the current top of the ski resort on Ramshead Mountain. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders may access all of Ramshead terrain, consisting of beginner and easy intermediate groomers and glades as well as many of Killington's terrain parks. As a result, the chairlift serves as the primary family-friendly and terrain park lift. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders may also access the K-1 Base Area for access to Snowdon, Killington, and Skye peaks. The lift was manufactured by Poma and installed at the resort in 1996. The lift replaced the 1962 Poma double chairlift of the same name. The previous chairlift traveled up to the true summit of Ramshead Mountain but this lift stops short of the summit due to wind issues and to help transition Ramshead to more of a family-friendly experience.

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.
