  • Blue Heaven to Bear Trax to Snowshed Crossover to Great Eastern is a ski run of varying difficulties located at Killington Ski Resort. The run is top-to-bottom, or "Peak to Creek" as it is called at Killington, running from the summit of Killington Peak, the highest point of the resort, down to the Skyeship Base Area, the lowest point of the resort. The run starts off the back of the peak, exiting to the right onto Blue Heaven, an intermediate trail. Blue Heaven starts off with a small drop and then narrows, running down the mountain gently until it reaches the bottom of the South Ridge Quad. I passed straight by the top of the lift, staying to the slight right at the next intersection to ski onto Bear Trax. The upper half of Bear Trax is rated as intermediate and is narrow and mellow. The lower half of the trail continues much the same way, however, it is rated as beginner. Eventually, the trail arrives at a large intersection where I stayed to the sharp left to ski onto Snowshed Crossover, another beginner trail. The trail traverses across Skye Peak, crossing a couple of trails, even passing underneath Skyeburst in a tunnel, until it eventually merges onto Great Easter, another beginner trail. Great Eastern starts out wide but eventually narrows. The trail gently weaves its way down the mountains, featuring straight sections, sharp curves, flat spots, and small dips. Passing by condos and under roads until it eventually reaches the Skyeship Base Area.
