The short answer

To ski from your door, stay at the Snowshed and Ramshead base, where the Killington Grand is the resort’s only full-service mountainside hotel and Ramshead is the kids’ learning hub. Killington Road — the 5-mile access road — has most of the inns, condos and the nightlife. Pico and Route 4 are quieter, and Rutland is the base if you’re arriving by train.
