The Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge returns to Killington Resort as one of the most iconic spring events of the season, bringing high-energy competition and a full-on après-ski party atmosphere to Bear Mountain. It takes place on the morning of April 4th, 2026; held on the legendary Outer Limits trail—known as the longest and steepest mogul run in the East. This annual event draws amateur skiers from across the region to test their skills on a demanding, bump-filled course that has been challenging riders for decades.
Competitors go head-to-head with individual runs before narrowing down to bracket-style finals, where the top skiers battle it out for the coveted Mogul Challenge Cup. Judging is based on a mix of technique, speed, and aerial control, making it a true test of well-rounded skiing ability. With limited spots available, the event typically fills quickly, highlighting just how popular it has become among bump enthusiasts looking to prove themselves on one of Killington’s toughest runs.
Beyond the competition, the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge is just as much about the atmosphere as it is the skiing. Spectators line the course while music, tailgating, and spring vibes take over the base area, turning the event into a full-day celebration on the snow. Come compete, cheer from the sidelines, or just soak up the scene, it’s one of those signature Killington experiences that perfectly captures the transition from winter to spring skiing.
