I skied at Killington (then called 'Killington Basin') in 1961. (I was 13.) There was the chair on Killington Peak and three Poma lifts in tandem to get you to the top of Snowdon. That's all there was back then. The Poma ride was really fun, over the ungraded liftline. And once you got to the top of Snowdon, there were wonderful glades off to the right. I think it was the first time I had ever skied at the beginning of May. Good memories!

The new lodge is awesome! That said, no mention of the yurt. Best meal in Vermont. Should have a star. Ski through the back country trees at snowshed lift top skiers right, right down to the yurt. My favorite spot on the mountain!

Killington, well worth the drive if you live in the south (NC). It takes about 12 hours, but Killington truly is the beast of the east. People in the south don't really understand it, if they have only been exposed to the little, tiny ski mountains of North Carolina.

Check out Moguls get the ribs and the house hot wings. Pickle barrel is an awesome club great music and drinks. Lookout tavern awesome place as well good old fashioned and food.

So how does this compare to Vail or Breckinridge Colorado?

I live/ski VT and NH. I do take a week out west, like Vail and Breck. The west is big wide spaces, open bowls and, like Breck, a town to go to for Apres Ski. The east is winding trails, and can get icy. Only Stowe has a real village. All the big places, like Stowe, Killington, Sugarbush, have built huge mountain side resorts that feel like little villages. Cultures are quite different. NE is charming and inviting. Breck and Vail feel kind of chichi. All awesome, just different experiences.
