I use Skyeship Base Lodge exclusively when skiing Killington. I ride Skyeship Gondola from Skyeship Base Area to the top of Stage 2, spend the day skiing up on the mountain and when I'm ready to call it a day I ski Great Eastern all the way down to Skyeship Base, take my skis off & get in the car. It's perfect for skiers who are there to do nothing but ski. When Skyeship Stage 1 is closed, I get dropped off at Bear Mountain Base in the morning and picked up at Skyeship Base in the afternoon. If Great Eastern isn't open to Skyeship Base, I get picked up at Bear.
Great base to get on the mountain quickly. It’s also nice to be able to hop on the gondi but parking fills up quick. Overflow parking is limited. On a good day you have to do get here early.
What a great place to jump off and start your day at Killington. The earlier you get there the better parking spot you get. It does get full by mid morning. The wait for the Gondola was not long at all. A map is a must when you go up the mountain. This place is massive. The help at Killington is top notch, very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Being greeted with a smile and a good morning is rare these days, not at Killington. The skiing is amazing and widespread for all abilities. For food I found the Jamaican Jerk Grille at mid mountain at Skyeship gondola was outstanding!! It's a must if you like Caribbean food. The Shrimp Tacos are a must!!
We met a bartender at the new bar, his name was Joe. He made us feel very welcome, almost like it cheers feeling where you could just sit and relax and not feel rushed. I imagine if it gets super crowded it would be a little more intense, but it wasn't crowded that day and we felt relaxed and very welcome because of the bartender Joe. Highly recommend a visit here!
Cool to check out if you're in the area. Has EV chargers across the street
What i liked: - Huge place - Good customer service - Good coffee What i didnt like: - Not great choice of food Overview: Nice place to chill after long ride on Great Eastern trail...
Great mountain, we had a blast up here conditions were second to none
GO HERE! This mountain is amazing. So many trails to carve here. The food is good, staff is friendly, the guides are super helpful. I'm a boarder and they advised I avoid juggernaut as it looks great on the map but it's really all flat and I'd be pushing most of the way. The terrain parks are great and there are lots of sasquatch statues to take a look at.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
