What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Snowshed Adventure Center for its excellent Bike Park with diverse trails and well-maintained rentals. The Snowshed Lodge is appreciated for its spacious, relaxed atmosphere and convenient amenities. Some note that food prices can be high, and a minor point of feedback includes the lack of footrests on ski lifts.
"I went to the Bike Park and had an amazing experience. Lots of trails to pick from including cross country, technical, and those with more jumps and berms. The rentals are also kept in very good condition and the staff was very kind in making sure we were comfortable with the bike and safety equipment, of which I used their shoes and full face helmet. The only downside was that the food was very expensive for frozen food."

"Loved our stop at the Snowshed Lodge in Killington! Compared to the other lodges, this one felt so much more spacious and chill — we actually found seats right away. The restrooms were super clean, and the food hit the spot after a few runs. Definitely one of the better lodge experiences at the resort!"
