Pico Mountain is one of the places in New England where you really get the feel of big mountain skiing. From easy to advanced there is a perfect terrain for you. Mount Pico has considerable steeps and glides for more advanced skiers as well as family terrain for tubing and other snow activities. At the bottom of the mountain is the central base area and lodge. Warm your hands and feet by the huge stone fireplace in the circa 1960s decorated lodge or kick back in your slope-side condo or hotel suite with friends.
Since there are so many great packages every stay is affordable and suited to fit your needs. You can purchase all inclusive "all for one passes" which can save a lot of time when booking plans, as well as money. Mount Pico is one of the mountain faces in Vermont with a larger vertical drop than most so it attracts thousands of skiers each season. You can rent equipment, take a class, and there is also a children's center available during the day.
