Skiing/Snowboarding

Cross Country Skiing

Just 1.5 miles from MOUNTAIN SPORTS INN is one of the premier cross country ski resorts in Vermont. MOUNTAIN MEADOWS CROSS COUNTRY SKI RESORT has 60 kilometers of trails. All centered around beautiful Kent Pond. The new lodge, shop, and restaurant makes this resort a great family experience. Equally important, the trail system is extremely diverse. They meander through old growth, evergreen forests, open fields, orchards, and backcountry woods. They also have more snow making capacity than any other Killington cross country ski resort in Vermont.

Hiking

Vermont is still God's country! The wilderness is vast and undeveloped. And, when you venture into the backcountry by foot, it isn't long before the only sound you can hear is your rhythmic breathing and heart pounding. Two miles away from the MOUNTAIN SPORTS INN, are some major trail heads, the Appalachian trail and the Long Trail. We can provide you the necessary information you need from just a short walk through the forest to a long strenuous day out on the mountain trails.

Golf

Within three miles of the MOUNTAIN SPORTS INN there are two great golf courses, and numerous others within a short drive. The GREEN MOUNTAIN NATIONAL golf course built in 1996 has a beautiful setting while challenging you on every shot. Designed by Gene Bates, the 18 hole, championship course features bent grass fairways, tees, and greens, a state of the art irrigation system, and an expansive drainage system. There is no better place in Vermont to get great views of the fall foliage, no matter what hole your on. Check out their website. Golf packages are available through Mountain Sports Inn. The KILLINGTON GOLF COURSE located on Killington Road in the Killington Village, also has a beautiful mountain setting. The course was designed by Geoffrey Cornish. This 18 hole 6,300-yard par 72 course will take your game to new heights. And, we are more than willing to set up a tee time for you. Give us a call at 802-422-3315 for Vermont golfing information.
