Set in the heart of the Green Mountains of Vermont, the picturesque resort of Killington is like something right off a Christmas chocolate box. This resort, which is the largest in the Eastern United States, comprises six mountains that are interconnected by 87 miles of trails. Unlike the centralised European resorts, most of Killington's hotels and restaurants are spread across a five-mile approach road. That said however, American don't like to walk too far and there is a free daytime shuttle bus service around the base areas and lodgings. This resort is very popular with New Yorkers who are happy to exchange the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple for the tranquillity of this winter wonderland. Killington is a great spot for both families and young people with plenty to amuse all when away from the slopes.
