Line Dancing for Search & Rescue

Thursday, April 2 — The Wobbly Barn

Kickoff

Start your Easter weekend early with a line dance night at the legendary Wobbly Barn. All proceeds support Killington's all-volunteer Search and Rescue team — the folks who pull people out of trouble on the mountain every winter.

No experience needed. Seriously.
Great way to break in your weekend crew
Good cause, good drinks, good time

The Sugarhill Gang + 12/OC

Friday, April 3 — Access Road / Wobbly Barn

Live Music

Yes, that Sugarhill Gang. "Rapper's Delight" live on the Access Road — presented by High Noon. Then head to The Wobbly Barn for 12/OC at 7 PM.

Two shows, one night, walkable distance
Get dinner between sets at Jax or The Foundry
This is the kind of Friday Killington does better than anyone

Children's Easter Egg Hunt

Sunday, April 5 — K-1 Lodge, 8:30 AM

Family

The big one. Kids 12 and under hunt for eggs outside the K-1 Lodge starting at 8:30 AM sharp. Toddler hunt (ages 4 and under) at 9:30 AM at the Roaring Brook Umbrella Bar — much more chill.

Get there early. This is popular. 8:15 AM is not too early.
One lucky kid wins a youth season pass
Free — just show up
Pro move: plan first chair right after the hunt. Kids are already up, mountain is empty.

Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge

Monday, April 6 — Bear Mountain

Competition

Amateurs only — which means the wipeouts are spectacular and the energy is off the charts. Even if you're not competing, watching from the base of Bear is one of the best free shows of the spring season.

Registration typically opens morning-of
Multiple age/skill divisions
Spectating is free and wildly entertaining
Stick around for the awards and the after-party vibe

The Foundry

Gastropub

Elevated pub food, great beer list, comfortable vibe. Works for everyone from kids to grandparents.

The Garlic

Reliable Italian that's been here forever. Big portions, reasonable prices, garlic bread that earns the name.

Get there before 8 AM on Sunday.

Pickle Barrel

Apres / Nightlife

The legendary apres spot. Nachos the size of a small table. Where every ski day ends and every night begins.

Saturday afternoon is peak energy.

💡

7 Things Locals Know About Easter Weekend

1

The parking lot fills up. Easter Sunday + spring skiing = everyone in Vermont shows up. Be in the K-1 lot by 8:15 to hunt eggs AND get a decent parking spot.

2

Corn snow has a clock. The best conditions are between 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM when the sun has softened the top layer but hasn't turned it to slush. Go early for groomed, midday for corn.

3

Dress in layers, not a parka. It can be 28 at 8 AM and 50 by noon. Base layer + fleece + light shell. You'll be peeling layers all day.

4

Sunscreen is not optional. April sun at elevation will burn you through your goggles tan line. SPF 50 minimum. Reapply at lunch. You've been warned.

5

Book your Easter dinner now. Liquid Art House and The Garlic will be packed Sunday evening. Call ahead. Walk-ins are a gamble you'll lose.

6

The toddler hunt is better. If your kids are 4 or under, skip the 8:30 frenzy and go to the 9:30 AM hunt at Roaring Brook. Smaller, calmer, same prizes.

7

Monday is the sleeper day. Half the weekend crowd leaves Sunday night. Monday morning you get fresh corduroy, short lift lines, and the Mogul Challenge for entertainment. Stay the extra night.
