SNOW REPORTER'S UPDATE

November 27, 2023 - 05:45 am

What an amazing weekend Beast Fans! We hope you all had a great time at the 2023 Stifel Killington Cup. We saw over 7" last night, so you're going to want to get here early this morning to take advantage of the fresh snow. The precipitation started off wet and it's going to warm up above freezing today, meaning the new snow may be heavy, but we'll take it. Our groomers were out grooming most trails across all our open terrain, so conditions will be nice, smooth and soft for the first few laps. We have been expanding our open terrain with the recent opening of the Snowdon Six, and we look to make more snow once temps fall below freezing over the next couple of days. We can’t wait for an awesome week of skiing and riding, and hope to see you out there!

Reminder: Early season conditions may be variable.

Be aware, our open terrain is suitable for advanced and intermediate skiers and riders only.  

New this year, Superstar will remain closed to the public for one week following the Stifel Killington Cup for race training. More than 350 skiers from 23 different clubs, academies and universities will be at The Beast to take advantage of the course. This is a unique opportunity for these aspiring athletes to practice on World Cup-caliber terrain. After that, we'll resurface the course and open it to the public on December 8.
