Skiers headed to Killington for a week or so of skiing should consider the condo option. A number of condo developments spill down the hillside and along the low ridges flanking the access road, varying in elegance, convenience, and size. Highridge features units with saunas and two-person Jacuzzis, along with access to a compact health club. Sunrise Village is more remote, with a health club and easy access to the Bear Mountain lifts. The Woods at Killington are farthest from the slopes (free shuttle) but offer access to the finest health club and the road's best restaurant. Rates fluctuate widely, depending on time of year, number of bedrooms, and number of days you plan to stay. But figure on prices ranging from around $100 to $130 and up per person per day, including lift tickets.
You can line up a vacation -- or request more information -- by contacting the Killington Lodging and Travel Bureau (tel. 888/4KTIMES; www.killington.com), which also arranges stays at area inns and motels.
Budget Hints for Skiers--Skiers on a budget should consider basing in Rutland, at one of the chain motels, and commuting to the mountain via car or the $2 shuttle bus.
