Parking, Shuttles & Venue Info

The Killington Cup Venue

Both Killington Cup races take place on the Superstar trail, finishing on the doorstep of the Roaring Brook in the heart of the festival village. As racers cross the finish line, they will meet a raucous Killington crowd surrounding the finish area and extending throughout the K-1 Base Area.

The festival village is accessible to guests who purchased a Killington Cup general admission or premier seating ticket, offering excellent views of the lower racecourse from the foot of Superstar while two jumbo screens show the action on the upper trail. The general admission viewing area is adjacent to the ticketed Grandstands and VIP area.

Please note: All guests are required to go through a security checkpoint in front of K-1 Lodge to enter the festival village, K-1 Lodge, and spectator areas.

This is an outdoor event—wear warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Surface conditions in the base area will be variable, including everything from snow to mud.

For the enjoyment of all guests, the following items are prohibited in the Killington Cup festival village:

  • Chairs. All spectating areas provide standing room only. ADA accessible viewing options are available, just ask a Mountain Ambassador for assistance.
  • Alcoholic beverages. A variety of food and beverage options including alcohol will be available for purchase within designated areas of the festival village.
  • Glass containers. Please bring drinking water in only plastic or metal containers.
  • Knives. Please leave these at home.
  • Weapons. All weapons are prohibited.
  • Laser Pointers. Use of laser pointers could interfere with the race and scheduled entertainment and endanger others. Use will result in expulsion from the event.
  • Pets. We love pets and Killington is a pet-friendly resort but given the scale of this event we ask you to leave them at home this weekend. Woof!
  • Illegal Drugs. Use of illegal drugs on Killington Resort property is strictly prohibited.
  • Drones. Use of drones on Killington Resort property is strictly prohibited without approval from management.
  • Overnight Parking. No overnight parking is available on resort property and violators will be towed.

Please be aware that Killington Resort is a smoke-free resort. Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the festival village but is permitted in the K-1 Parking Lot.
