Loaded Turkey Rail Jam
IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE
The 2026 Loaded Turkey Rail Jam has been rescheduled to Sunday, November 22 due to recent weather and mountain conditions.
Marginal temperatures have limited our snowmaking opportunities, making it challenging to build the snow base needed to open and provide a venue for this event. While colder temperatures and potential natural snowfall are in the forecast, we still need more sustained cold temperatures to build a solid foundation.
This date change will give our snowmakers and Park Crew additional time to prepare the park for the best possible competitor experience.
If you have any questions, please reach out to events@killington.com. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work toward winter. We look forward to seeing everyone on November 22!
Tradition at its finest: Killington's Loaded Turkey Rail Jam is back to kick off another great season of park competitions in our Killington Parks. We are serving up Thanksgiving dinner on the podium with a frozen turkey going out to first place and all the fixings going to second and third place.
