Pico Mountain - Vermont
Pico Ski & Summer Resort is located in central Vermont neighboring Killington Mountain.
More than 17 miles of ski trails across four of Vermont's most scenic peaks and 42 trails leading to one base area village make Pico skiers a happy group.
Pico has a 1,967-foot vertical and one of the highest elevations in the east and ranked among the top ski areas in natural snowfall. It is an ideal spot for intermediate skiers preferring long run-outs.
Snowmaking covers 82 percent of the trail network. Nine lifts, including the Golden Express and Summit Express high-speed quad super chairs, provide more skiing with little, if any, lift line waiting.
Pico offers this guarantee: If a skier decides within the first half hour after buying a lift ticket that he or she is not happy -- for any reason -- Pico will provide a voucher for that same ticket to be used later in the ski season.
The ski area offers a self-contained village and a wide variety of lodging accommodations and caters to any size group.
Pico is located nine miles east of Rutland, Vt., on U.S. Route 4.
