Killington - K-1 Express Gondola

K-1 Express Gondola is an eight-person detachable gondola located at Killington Resort. The lift runs from the K-1 Base Area, up to the summit of Killington Peak. The lift primarily serves the terrain located on Killington Peak, which consists of a variety of intermediate and advanced terrain. Most of Skye Peak and portions of Bear Mountain may also be accessed from the top of the gondola, as well as all of the base areas located at the resort. Being the main lift located at the resort's main base area running to the summit of the resort, the lift is one of the most popular lifts at the resort. The gondola is also open in the summer for scenic rides. The gondola was manufactured by Poma and installed at the resort in 1997, replacing the upper third of the old 1968 Carlevaro-Savio Gondola, which was removed in 1994, and the 1975 Hall Killington Peak Double chairlift. The gondola received new, upgraded Diamond cabins in 2018.
