What Killington normally looks like in spring.

Killington Resort, known for its long seasons, is particularly noteworthy. The Vermont-based resort often aims to be the first to open and the last to close in the East. Sugarloaf in Maine and Black Mountain in New Hampshire are also among the resorts providing late-season skiing options. These resorts typically offer limited terrain but maintain enough snow coverage on select trails to provide a satisfying spring skiing experience.
