    Just went yesterday. I was please toy surprised at the lack of people skiing. The top of the mountain looked pretty icy. I don't venture to the top as I was just looking for a nice easy day with my nephew. The guys at the rental counter are well versed and top notch. The lady that waited on us at the ticket counter was the best.

    Many reviews I have read speak of Pico being nearly void of skiers, even on the weekends. I had not skied there since my far distant teens, and after a friend and I found excellent Liftopia discounts, we got up early on a recent Sunday morning and traveled 3 hours from central Connecticut to Pico. As we turned into the drive we were greeted by a lot full sign and an very nice man directing us into the overflow lot. I became concerned that these were omens of a day of standing in long lift lines with pushy pushy people. Nothing could have been further from the truth. A guest services ambassador was stationed at the end of the lot and happily greeted us and provided directions to the ticket windows. We went to the sales center and got our tickets from the extremely friendly counter staff (whose names I am sadly remiss in remembering). They were all examples of the genuinely friendly staff that we encountered across the mountain throughout the day. Minor lines were found at the two major lifts needed to access the summit, but they moved quickly. When we exited the lift, something magical happened. No matter where we skied, it seemed that the other skiers had disappeared, as the trails never seemed crowded, although they reappeared at the bottom of the lift. This happened all throughout the day, and for no logical reason. We met several regulars and season ticket holders, all of whom told us that the felt this was the best season pass value in Vt. I would tend to agree. Conditions were exceptionally good, even on those trails that did not show signs of snowmaking. Is Pico worth the three hour trip? If Gilligan and the Skipper had taken this three hour tour, they would have never gotten lost. But they might not have gone home right away either.

    This is a small mountain, 57 trails, about a 5-10 minute drive from Killington Mountain. We had a two day lift ticket that worked at both Killington and Pico Mountain so we decided to ski one day at Killington and another at Pico. We skied at Pico on a Sunday during President's day weekend and was surprised on how empty the mountain was. It could have been because it was wicked cold out, about 2 degrees. But the sun was out and the mountain conditions were prefect! This mountain has very wide trails and a lot of powder on them. The only downside was that the lift to the summit was not running. This left a lot of the mountain/trails inaccessible. This seems like a great mountain for people who want to learn how to ski or snowboard on. There is a really good variety of different levels of trails. I would definitely ski this mountain again next time I’m in VT.

    Whether you love cruising on Blue, or slamming ungroomed black, Pico has some - for $26. It's an old style New England hill: two high speed lifts and the rest traditional, one lodge with a whole room for bring your own lunch and little ski fashion. On a good snow day, as good as any mountain for half the price.

    Since Pico became part of the larger Killington Ski Area it has lost the ambiance of the Friendly Mountain that it once held. Still a good value, but showing signs of wear and tear.

    This is a really nice smaller mountain to take intermediate skiers. I've gone to most of the Northeastern ski resorts - taking my now 11-year-old daughter skiing since she was 4 - and this was one of the most enjoyable. I'd take my more aggressive ski buddies to Killington, Stratton, Gore, Whiteface, and Stowe, but for more family-oriented skiing, it's here, Okemo and Bromley. While I still fantasize about the first-run corduroy at Bromley, Pico was fun because of no lift lines, polite fellow skiers, a smaller atmosphere. Nice, broad slopes, great views at the top, enjoyable runs. Also, it's very close to the cheaper hotels in Rutland.

    The chilly morning temperature was fine since there was no wind. The conditions were great, with fresh powder and some snowmaking in progress. They groomed some runs and others were left natural to enjoy the powder. Our Liftopia purchase got me a ticket for $14 and my daughter one for $24 on this sunny Thursday, 1/15/15. The views were grand, the lines non-existent, and everyone was a good skier. I had been here in March three years ago, and the snow today was much faster and drier. I wish the triple chair was open so we could have accessed the trails to the far left, but we had plenty to keep us going.

    First time skiing in New England. It wasn't a huge place but it kept us busy for 1 day, even early in the season. NO LINES for tickets, rentals, or lifts all day, on a Saturday! Didn't have a great lesson experience; got put into a group with 2 others at a very different ski level than us.

    Almost a perfect combination of great terrain, a fantastic lodge, fast lifts, and the unspoiled charm of small mountain experience that is large in size with good vertical. It seems there are a greater number of skiers than boarders which I find more appealing. Best yet, cost is reasonable, the mountain is nicely groomed, and the crowds are at a minimum.At one point, I thought it would be good if Pico was connected to Killington, but then after skiing Pico this past weekend, I thought otherwise--Lift ticket prices would surely rise, and more than likely the crowds would increase with urbanites due to its proximity to Rutland. An access point to the rest of the six peaks off Rt. 7 could ruin its charm. I am a fan of Killington, but even a bigger one of Pico. I will definitely return.

    As intermediate level skiers, this was out first time out skiing this year, so we chose Pico because its smaller than Killington and very easy to navigate. We found the number of green and blue runs to be very attractive as well as a great senior rate (be sure to ask) during off peak days. If you want Eastern U.S. black diamond runs, they have several good ones as well.

    Amazing hike, longer than expected, but the view was worth it! pack a lunch and water and of course a camera!
  • kayakgirl75
    Pico offers lots of things to do for those who love the outdoors. The alpine slide is a long time favorite adventure. The hiking trails are great and the people are friendly and helpful.
  • LMountainStack
    The hike up to Pico's summit was a good 4 hour "loop" hike as trail heads are less than a 1/2 mile apart. Fairy-like foliage and great views of area at the top!

    Even though Pico doesn't have the big slopes, it's price is right and I can go without committing my whole day.

    Pico is Killington's little brother. It is owned by Killington and Killington lift passes are good here. There is a good amount of terrain, excellent child programs, grooming and snowmaking.Check ahead, Pico is not open every day in ski season.This place is a good alternative to the hustle of Kilington, especially for families.
