Pico Rules the $$$ Deal
I have to be honest. I do not even go to Pico, VT very often. However, I love the mountain. Pico is an often-overlooked option in New England.
The variety of deals shown below will save you some dollars should give you a reason to check it out this season.
Pico is very different form more popular neighbors. It has long been a favorite of locals. On the busy ski weekends, it provides a more manageable option for the parent who may be a little gun shy to let the kids ski off alone at some larger neighbors.
Factiod: Pico is big, one of the tallest mountains in Vermont at 3.957 feet, not intimidating though. They claim 50 trails (great terrain) and 6 lifts, which all end up at the same base area.
The following release from the area stacked with season long deals hit my Inbox. There is something for everyone at Pico.
