Bear Trax – The lower Bear Trax is green but the upper is an Orange Triangle. This is because its narrow, a little crowded right after the lift, and has a drop off the right side after you make the 180-degree left turn from the lift. Take it slow through there and follow the signs to stay on it and you’ll wind your way through no problem.

 Homerun – This trail cuts across the face of Killington Peak to get across to Snwodon mountain. There isn’t any step section, just a little narrow in spots and those tricky black diamond intersections.

 Great Northern – A nice long ride and another way to get across the face of Killington to the northern (right side of the map) trails. There is one section when the trail briefly goes down the face under the gondola that is a little steep, but plenty wide and easy to find a safe line along the left side while you make the left turn to stay on Great Northern. There are even two flat areas where you’ll want to keep up speed to get under the next two lifts. Keep following the “Easiest Route” blue signs and watch for the narrow tunnels that go under the roads and enjoy this beautiful long Orange Triangle ride. 

 Timberline – Some purists, and a lot of terrain park riders, would object to me calling attention to this trail. But it’s a good Orange Triangle to have a change of scenery if you are spending time on the Ramshead side of the mountain and need something different. Obviously, you’ll want to avoid the terrain obstacles, half pipe walls, and the like but the slope itself is perfectly fine.

 Blue Heaven – This is a narrow trail with an interesting drop in off of Bear Trax but its beautifully remote and tree lined and a great way to pick up Launchpad without being on the sometimes-crowded Bear Trax.

 Launchpad – Named after my favorite character from Tailspin, Launchpad is an interesting mix of trails that never leaves the comfort zone of an Orange Triangle skier. There are lots of intersections and if you aren’t sure which way to go you can assume you are cutting across the face of Killington Mountain onto the face of Skye Peak and not heading down with the lifts and blacks which is why this is a nice Orange Triangle. 

 Cruise Control – When you are ready for some speed pick up Cruise Control after a short ride on Great Eastern when you get off Launchpad. This will complete a nice, long sequence from the top of Killington Mountain all the way to the bottom. Cruise Control is really wide and the sections that are only “sort of” steep are such that you can find a shallower side to fine the line that works for you.
