Killington Ski Resort is an official Kona Bike Park. They rent Downhill, XC, and All Mountain bikes. The Downhill is a Kona Stinky. Cost is ~34 for a lift ticket, ~60 for bike rental.

The trails are a mixture of fast gravel roads and very tight and techical wooded trails. They range from easy to very challenging. Too much pedelling is required. The lift setup is a gondola but the mechanism for securing bikes is very poor... often another bike will bang into your fork sliders on the way up.
