From live music to the return of the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge, Killington Resort is The Beast of Spring. Killington Resort introduces the 2013 NOR’BEASTER Unlimited Spring Pass for $199 and a seven week-long celebration of spring with events for all ages.

Starting Saturday, February 16, Killington will offer an Unlimited NOR’BEASTER Spring Pass for all ages for just $199. The all-new pass is valid daily from March 15 through the end of the 2012-13 winter season and features a 20% discount on select lodging properties. With over 20 feet of natural and manmade snow covering the Superstar Trail, we plan to ski and ride into May, conditions permitting. Our goal is to have the longest on-snow season in the East, so we’ll continue to make snow on our signature spring trails, and we’re featuring events through May 5.

Soft snow, sunshine, live music, events and the famous Bear Mountain deck are all typical characteristics of spring skiing and riding at Killington Resort, however, this year’s spring events schedule will be one for the books with NOR’BEASTER, a seven week celebration of spring in the Green Mountains.

The Bud Light St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt and Après Party will kick off the NOR’BEASTER March 17, followed by snoe.down March 22-24 featuring moe. along with a variety of jam bands. Heading into the final weekend of March, Hibernation Park Jam, Ski VT Specialty Food Day, Easter Egg Hunt and live music is scheduled.
