Killington Resort & Pico Mountain Honors Its Team with Annual Milestone Party

Each year, Killington Resort celebrates the team members who have reached significant five-year milestones in their careers at The Beast. A party is thrown, complete with gifts from YETI, a delicious steak dinner from Southside Steakhouse and an evening of fun at games at Stonehedge Indoor Golf. The 2024 gala recognized a collective 895 years of full-time, year-round service.

“I came to Killington as a J-1 student from Korea way back when, and knew I’d found my home,” says Business Analyst Soo Seo, who was celebrating 15 years working at Killington. She says her favorite thing about it is the people. “We might lack on demographic diversity, but I do love individual characteristic/personality and everyone has their own story at Killington.”

Killington’s two longest serving team members, Dave Lacombe and Keiki Sierman, who are both celebrating 45 years of service, were honored and earned their crowns as the King and Queen of Killington. The evening included some fun golf challenges, a photo booth and lots of mixing and mingling. But mostly, the night is a chance to recognize the dedication and contributions of the people who make Killington tick, and it’s an awesome opportunity to reminisce.

"It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since starting at Killington,” says Events & Sponsorship Manager Mike Sutcliffe. “I love everything about this place, the people and the community and I am truly looking forward to celebrating many more milestones at The Beast."
