Pico Mountain

In 1937 on Thanksgiving morning, a legend was born: Pico Mountain Ski Resort. Although it was humbly equipped with only a 1,200’ rope tow powered by a Hudson motor car engine, skiers—true skiers—loved it. Since then, a lot has changed, but the love for the mountain still lives today, and it’s as strong as ever.

Families and skiing traditionalists now enjoy 58 trails and a terrain park serviced by six lifts, including two high-speed detachable quads. Gentle learning terrain, smooth cruisers, and classically narrow New England steeps can all be found at Pico. With more vertical drop than 80% of New England ski areas, Pico Mountain is your home for family mountain fun with big mountain terrain and small mountain charm. All trails lead to a central base area, making Pico Mountain ideal for the whole family.

In recent years, they've made major upgrades to our snowmaking capacity, including a new pump house, a new water pipeline connecting to Killington, and double the number of low-energy snowguns, which enables them to make more snow, more efficiently than ever. They’ve invested millions of dollars into capital improvements, including a completely regraded beginner area adjacent to the brand-new Bonanza Carpet and a new ADA-compliant lift servicing the second and third level of our Pico Base Lodge. Pico Mountain, along with Killington Resort, is independently owned by a group of passionate local investors.
