The Dispensary on the Mountain: Killington Mountain Dispensary
Killington Mountain Dispensary at 2384 Killington Rd is the only CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary within Killington's town limits — and its location could not be more convenient for resort visitors. The shop sits on the Killington Access Road above the Mountain Merchant Market, which means it is a natural stop on the way in from Route 4 before heading up to the lodges, or on the way out in the evening after a day on the mountain.
Hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM seven days a week — aligned with a ski-day schedule from before first chair through the end of après-ski. No other dispensary in the immediate Killington area matches that combination of resort-road location and all-day hours. The menu covers flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, and vapes. Confirm at killingtonmd.com or call (802) 422-2283 before your visit.
The tradeoff is what resort-town convenience costs: prices at on-mountain shops tend to run slightly higher than at the same products in a city market. Many Killington regulars stop in Rutland on their way in or out — the Route 4 drive takes about 20 minutes each way, and Rutland's six shops give you comparison pricing and a significantly wider product selection. Whether that's worth it depends on how much time and energy you have relative to the price differential.
Southern Approach (Route 100): Green Union in Plymouth
Green Union at 4738 VT Route 100A in Plymouth is the dispensary on the southern Route 100 corridor — the road that runs between Killington and Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow. Coming from Killington, Plymouth is approximately 10 miles south via Route 100. Coming from Okemo (Ludlow), Plymouth is approximately 15 miles north.
Owner Al Baran is a 14-year Plymouth resident who named the shop after Plymouth Union, the area of town where the historic Salt Ash Inn sits (which he purchased when he was 27). The shop's in-house grow operation, First Chair Farms, is the core differentiator: growers work on the sales floor and can talk through strain genetics, cultivation conditions, and curing with anyone who wants to dig in. If you're curious about where your flower came from and how it was grown, Green Union is where you have that conversation directly with the person who made it.
Green Union's edge isn't late nights — it's the grow. Because First Chair Farms cultivates on site, the flower on the shelf is often the freshest in the corridor, and you can ask the person who grew it about the genetics and the cure. Green Union is also the single nearest dispensary to both Killington (north on Route 100) and Okemo (south toward Ludlow), which makes it the natural stop for anyone splitting a trip between the two mountains. Hours run standard: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday, until 8:00 PM Friday and Saturday, and 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Sunday.
Hours: Monday–Thursday 10:00 AM–7:00 PM; Friday–Saturday 10:00 AM–8:00 PM; Sunday 10:00 AM–7:00 PM. Confirm at greenunionvt.com or call (802) 672-1000.
Eastern Approach (Route 4): Woolly Mammoth Cannabis in Bridgewater
Woolly Mammoth Cannabis at 102 Mill Rd in Bridgewater occupies a restored old mill building on the Route 4 corridor — about 10 miles east of Killington toward Woodstock, and about 8 miles west of Woodstock village. For visitors arriving from Woodstock, White River Junction, or points east on Route 4, Woolly Mammoth is the natural pre-resort stop before turning onto the Killington Access Road.
The shop carries a curated selection focused on Vermont-grown cannabis — flower, edibles, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, and CBD. Its solventless rosin selection is a particular draw for concentrate-focused customers; the shop consistently stocks rosin options that aren't available at the larger shops. The old mill setting gives it a character that distinguishes it from standard retail — locally rooted, straightforward, and focused on product quality over scene.
Woolly Mammoth also keeps the latest weekend hours in the corridor: open until 9:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, an hour later than Green Union or Killington Mountain Dispensary. For skiers coming off a full Saturday on the mountain who want a stop on the drive back east toward Woodstock or White River Junction, that 9 PM close is the most forgiving in the area. The rest of the week it runs 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Hours: Monday–Thursday and Sunday 9:00 AM–7:00 PM; Friday–Saturday 9:00 AM–9:00 PM. Confirm at woollymammothshop.com or call (802) 672-4737.
Western Approach (Route 4): Rutland's Six Shops
Rutland is 12 miles west of Killington on Route 4 — about a 20-minute drive. With six CCB-licensed adult-use dispensaries within the city limits, it has by far the widest selection of any market near the resort. Vermont Cannabis Café (778 US Route 4 E) is the Route 4 shop: it opens at 8:00 AM daily and is the first Rutland shop you reach heading west from Killington on Route 4.
The other five Rutland shops — Mountain Girl Cannabis (license RTLR0001, Vermont's first adult-use retailer), Little Amsterdam (Black woman-owned), West Street Cannabis, The Gas Station, and Somewhere On The Mountain — are in the West Street and downtown/North Main corridor. If you're making the Rutland trip for selection, all six are within a few minutes of each other once you're in the city.
The calculus for most Killington visitors: if you're arriving or departing via Route 4 anyway, the Rutland detour adds 20–25 minutes round-trip. If you're strictly staying on the mountain and not making city runs, Killington Mountain Dispensary on the access road is the friction-free choice. See: Best Dispensary Near Me Rutland VT.
Cannabis on Killington Resort: What the Rules Actually Say
Vermont legalized adult-use cannabis in 2022. Killington Resort sits on a combination of state and private land — not federal land — so Vermont state law applies. Adults 21+ can legally possess cannabis in Vermont, but public consumption is illegal statewide, and the resort layers its own rule on top: Killington is a designated smoke-free resort, and smoking and vaping of any kind — cannabis included — are prohibited in all resort areas except the parking lots. That covers the slopes, the lifts, and the base lodges.
In practical terms: you can legally buy cannabis at any dispensary near Killington, bring it back to your private accommodation (a rented condo, a hotel room where the owner permits it, or a private home), and consume it there. Don't smoke or vape it on the mountain, on the lifts, or anywhere on resort property outside the parking lots — and remember that edibles don't get a pass on Vermont's public-consumption law just because there's no smoke. Violating the resort's policy can get you removed from the mountain, so know the boundary and plan around it.
Cannabis Tax in Killington: 20%
Vermont's cannabis tax is a 14% state excise tax plus the 6% state sales tax — 20% total. Killington has not adopted a local option sales tax, so purchases at Killington Mountain Dispensary are taxed at 20%, not the 21% charged in Burlington, Brattleboro, Rutland, or Woodstock, which each add a 1% local option sales tax. Killington does have a 1% local option tax — one of the oldest in the state — but it applies only to meals and lodging, not to retail cannabis, so it never touches your dispensary bill.
Green Union (Plymouth) and Woolly Mammoth (Bridgewater) are also at 20% — neither Plymouth nor Bridgewater has adopted a local option sales tax. On a $100 pre-tax purchase, budget roughly $20 in combined tax. Confirm the rate at the register.
