Skiing & Snowboarding During The Killington Cup
This year’s Stifel Killington Cup will take place over Thanksgiving weekend, November 27–29, 2026. Visiting Killington Resort during the event is an experience unlike any other, so we encourage you to make time for the racing and live music.
The event will significantly affect resort operations for skiers and riders on Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29. These impacts do not apply on Thursday, November 26 or Friday, November 27. Here is what you need to know before visiting.
Skiing & Riding Terrain
Killington will remain open to the public during the Killington Cup, with intermediate and advanced terrain only. Beginner terrain likely will not be available until sometime in December.
Conditions and available terrain can change quickly. Check the Mountain Report for the latest updates before traveling to The Beast.
K-1 Lodge Access
K-1 Lodge is located inside the event venue. A Killington Cup General Admission ticket is required to access the lodge and all services and facilities inside. A lift ticket, Ikon Pass or Killington Season Pass does not provide access to K-1 Lodge or the event venue.
If you need to visit the K-1 Lodge retail store for forgotten gear or other items, you will need a Killington Cup General Admission ticket.
Rentals, Tickets & Guest Services
Rentals will be available at Snowshed Lodge only. The K-1 rental shop will be closed November 28–29.
Lift ticket pickup kiosks and a Guest Services window will be available outside the event venue for ticket and pass pickup and assistance. Ikon Passes can also be printed at this location. Additional Guest Services windows will be open at Snowshed Lodge.
Restrooms, Food & Beverage
Portable toilets will be available in the K-1 parking lot and base area. Skiers and riders without a Killington Cup ticket may use the restrooms at the Peak Lodge.
Food and beverage service will not be available outside the event venue at the K-1 Base Area. Skiers and riders can find food and beverage options at the Peak Lodge.
Parking & Shuttle Service
All parking at the K-1 Base Area is reserved for preferred parking pass purchasers. Free parking will be available in remote lots with shuttle service to the K-1 Base Area.
If you do not have a Killington Cup General Admission ticket providing access to K-1 Lodge, plan to gear up at your vehicle and ride the shuttle with only your ski or snowboard equipment. Please arrive early and allow extra time.
Killington Cup Venue Access
Guests with Killington Cup General Admission tickets must enter through the designated venue entrance and complete a security screening. Review the venue information before arriving for details about the security process and prohibited items.
