New Mountain Bike Trail Coming to Killington Bike Park

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.
