Exciting developments are underway at Killington Resort as work begins on an expansion of the Bike Park. The trail crew has broken ground on a new blue trail branching off Lower Blue Magic, which promises to add approximately 1.5 miles of riding to the region’s largest lift-served Bike Park in the East.
This new addition is being built entirely in-house and is designed to offer a diverse experience for riders. The planned route will integrate flow, technical sections, and freeride features, significantly increasing the variety available across the trail network.
While specific details about the official trail name are still forthcoming, these new sections are expected to open later this season. Keep an eye out for further updates as construction progresses on this exciting expansion of the Killington Bike Park.

For those looking to introduce themselves to mountain biking, starting on green flow trails within lift-served bike parks offers the safest and most effective introduction. These parks are specifically designed with machine-built trails that feature wide turns and rolling bumps, eliminating the intimidating climbs that often deter beginners. The system allows riders to access the top of the mountain via a chairlift, making the ascent effortless and focusing the beginner experience entirely on riding the terrain rather than physical exertion.
To begin safely, new riders should prioritize proper gear, including a certified helmet, gloves, and knee pads, as these are non-negotiable for park riding. Learning the basics involves mastering body position and smooth braking before attempting speed. The core philosophy is to stay on green trails until they feel comfortable, understanding that this controlled environment minimizes the risk associated with learning new skills.
