Ski and Fun at Pico Mountain, Killington, VT

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!

My family and I made our way out to Killington, VT recently to check out  Pico Mountain. I went on behalf of Trekeroo, a wonderful site where travelers with kids have access to tips, trips, and sights as experienced by other families like themselves, and where I am a proud contributor.

We had a wonderful time and I invite you to check out my reviews at Trekeroo for all the different experiences we had there. My little ones tried skiing for the first time, as did I, as we loved it (I didn’t even fall once!), my 12 year old better mastered his snowboarding skills, and my husband conquered the summit.

 

Truly and unforgettable time, so I hope you check out What’s Kid Friendly at Pico Mountain Ski Resort featured on Trekaroo!

I have pics that you can view there as well, though most were taken with my iPhone as skiing with my expensive camera in tow was not an option, but I hope that I captured in some of the shots the fun we had and the beautiful time spent there.

Thank you to Pico Mountain Ski Resort for their hospitality and service.

    Nice trip! Thanks for sharing! I always like seeing pictures from ski trips since skiing is my passion. We like to take our two little boys (2 1/2 & 4 years old) also skiing but we stay a lot closer to NYC than you guys did. We ski on little mountains with our little boys since the little mountains are big enough for them. Bu as far as I am concerned, I would not even call these local anthills mountains…

Taking in the sunset by the lake. We enjoy coming Taking in the sunset by the lake. We enjoy coming to the lake much later in the day when most people have left, and when we get to take a dip after a long, hot day to reset and relax. 

Almost 4 years since we moved to the Finger Lakes and I still can’t believe this is my lucky life. ❤️

Thank you Toronto for the fun! This NYC girlie e Thank you Toronto for the fun! 

This NYC girlie enjoyed experiencing a different city, and finally making it to this one especially. 

I felt no pressure to check a bunch of things off “for the ‘gram” so enjoyed slowly touring around and spending time in areas I enjoyed the most. 

For those who have never been, like any city in the summer, it can be unpleasant on terribly hot days, and super crowded in touristy spots, but there are beaches and museums to escape to! People also seem generally friendlier. 

Toronto is really spread out so getting around can take awhile because of traffic, and public transport can get crowded at certain times. Best bet are the commuter bikes or walking - which we did tons of, especially in search of good coffee. There is a lot of good food but depending on where you are, you’ll have to travel a ways for it. 

In general, I found it to be an interesting city, with a vibrant and strong immigrant community, which I loved, and am excited to return and see more someday soon!

Checking out a new city for us! These are scenes f Checking out a new city for us! These are scenes from our first night in town. 

In all my years as a travel blogger the one place that seemed logical for me to visit cause of proximity and accesss was Toronto. But I never did. Till now. 

We’re staying in the city, in a home swap through (but not sponsored by) @livekindred and we’re excited to explore this city with the boys, one last trip before college, and see what I’ve been missing!
