Killington is not far superior to anything, unless all you care about is apre ski...
The only time I go to K is when I get a free ticket. Actually, I only go skiing at all when I can score free tix.
Okemo has better grooming and snow making, and fewer a-holes.
Killington has some fun trails, but they're usually so icy and scraped off that it's no fun.
The best runs going there are off of the Canyon chair/K1. Bear MTN is boring unless you can fly on the long runs. I usually bring my DH boards and rip Bear Claw.. But there's usually too many spuds clogging the trails to ski that fast.

ive been to both as well as other area mountains and i just enjoy killington the most.
opinions are like... well you know the rest
at the same time im in a similar boat with free or heavily discounted tickets. and i ususally only make the 6 hr trip during a blizzard. cause we all know quattro and snowtires are FTW
if i wanted to shred ice id go to mountain creek
i like the trails and onsite resort ammenities at killington as well. but that downtown type area at okemo is very cool.
