BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO THE GREEN MOUNTAINS RESORTS

Precipitation is moderate all over the year, but the local weather is severe and snow very intense in winter and early spring or late autumn. Most of Green Mountains are under snow all over this period.

Cold spells and intense snowfalls affect the region since the end of October till late Spring. 

Most visits to the Green Mountains - and to Killington, in particular - are centred in winter. But if you aren't a lover of winter sports, then late spring-summer-early autumn is the best period to visit the Green Mountains.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO THE GREEN MOUNTAINS

You should avoid winter - or even November and early-mid spring -, if you don't intend to enjoy winter mountain resorts and snow activities. 

Many travelers demand the Green Mountain region to see fall's foliage in Autumn, and specially in the first half of October. If you want to avoid this wave of tourists avoid this period.
