Killington Resort is turning up the intensity this spring with the Superstar Showdown, a brand-new endurance-style event set to take place on the iconic Superstar trail. Known for its steep pitch, World Cup legacy, and unmatched late-season snow conditions, Superstar provides the perfect stage for one of the most demanding challenges of the season. Competitors will push their limits by completing as many laps as possible in a single day, testing endurance, speed, and mental toughness while racking up vertical feet from morning to afternoon.
The format is simple but brutal—ride the lift, ski or ride down Superstar, and repeat. With soft spring snow, warmer weather, and a high-energy atmosphere, the Superstar Showdown captures everything that makes late-season riding at Killington special. Whether you’re entering the competition or just watching from the base, the event brings together the community for a day of nonstop action, camaraderie, and serious bragging rights for those who can outlast the rest.
Beyond the competition, the event also carries a meaningful purpose, with proceeds benefiting charitable initiatives and support from the Killington community. As the season winds down, the Superstar Showdown stands out as a perfect example of why Killington is known as “The Beast of the East”—delivering not just one of the longest ski seasons in the country, but one of the most memorable finishes as well.
