Pico Mountain Skiing History. Pico is one of Vermonts largest mountains, as rich in history as it is in ski and snowboard terrain. One of Vermont's first mountain resorts, Pico opened on Thanksgiving Day, 1937. The slope was the 2.5-mile-long Sunset Schuss trail, New Englands widest ski trail at an average of 65 feet. Pico's first ski race was held in January 1938, and over the following decades the mountain has produced many downhilling legends. Continuing the tradition to develop strong racers, Pico is home to the Killington Mountain School, and a renewed attention to racing this year with a timed course. Pico Downhill Thrill. Today's big mountain, with high-speed lifts and a terrain park, has lost none of its classic Vermont charm. It has more vertical drop than 80% of the downhill ski areas in New England. Those 1,967 feet are spread over 48 trails and 208 skiable acres, with lots of choices for all abilities. One of Pico's most enjoyable attributes is that it is a big mountain with a small ski areas personal touch. There are mogul trails, glades, and groomed steeps, but all the trails lead back to the same base area. The Pike, Pico's longest trail, begins at the summit and terminates right outside the base lodge. From the summit, skiers and riders can also try the (intermediate) 49er or the winding and narrow black diamonds Summit Glades, Upper KA, and Sunset 71. Pico Mountain Trails to Rails. Take a shot at the mountain's steepest, most difficult trail, Giant Killer. Racers often train on Bronco, at the Outpost area, and on B-Slope, which descends in a wide arc from the top of Little Pico. Bumps usually form on the black diamond A-Slope which is also on Little Pico mountain. First-time skiers and snowboarders can board a chairlift and two gentle learning trails at the Bonanza area. Cruisers enjoy the groomed green circle and blue square trails off the Golden Express Quad. Powder hounds delight in fresh tracks after a snowstorm if they can find their way into the Birch Glades or Summit Glades. Pico Mountain Snowboarding. Pico Mountain has a new and improved mini-terrain park with tabletops and a railslide, open to snowboarders and skiers. The park is designed and maintained by Killington's snowboard staff and is located on upper Triple Slope off the Knomes Knoll chairlift.
