Now owned by Killington Ski Resort, Pico’s 468 acres get about 250 inches of snowfall each year, with a summit elevation of 3,967 feet and a vertical drop of 1,967 feet. (Note that while a pass from Killington Resort is also good for Pico Mountain, a pass from Pico Mountain cannot be used at Killington.)
Pico Mountain has a ski and snowboard school, as well as a special “ski for free” package if you bring a friend who is purchasing the First Time Ski & Ride package. There is a rental shop right at the resort base lodge, and although there is no night skiing at Pico Mountain, though there is snowmobiling and sleigh rides. Slopeside dining is plentiful, and the resort also has one lodging option that is ski-in/ski-out.
Pico Mountain generally opens in early to mid-December and closes early to mid-April. In this part of Vermont, March has the highest snowfall average for the season at 55 inches, not to mention warm temperatures, with an average high of 44 degrees.
