Mountain Profile
Pico is like no other mountain. Only here can you experience the thrill of a large mountain with the personal touch of a small ski area.
At more than one mile long, Pike, Pico’s longest trail, begins at the summit and ends at the base lodge. Skiers and riders can also try the blue square 49er or winding black diamond trails like Summit Glades, Upper KA and Sunset 71 straight from the summit. More experienced skiers and riders can take a shot at the mountain’s steepest trail, Giant Killer – a double-black diamond. For glade skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, Pico offers tree skiing on Doozie and Birch Woods.
First-time skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of their own chairlift and rope tow, serving two gentle learning trails at the Bonanza area. For cruising and carving, check out the green circle and blue square trails off the Golden Express Quad, including Fool’s Gold, Prospector and Gold Rush. Riders and skiers working on their freestyle skills will be right at home in the Triple Slope Terrain Park.
