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…

My wildflower field is reminding me of an importan My wildflower field is reminding me of an important trait: patience. So much in my life right now feels out of my control. I am experiencing a massive shift and uneasiness, and things I want to happen are so slow and feel like they are not happening at all. It is very unsettling and frustrating. 

But this was also my garden. The blooms weren’t blooming. It felt like they were never going to come. Like it would skip us this year. And I was sad at the thought that for reasons outside of my control, regardless of everything we did to tend to this garden, we would just not get the results we’d hope for. 

But this morning, I woke up, and there they were. The first few flowers. Colorful and bright, with bumblebees dancing around them. And when I looked closer, I saw so many more buds waiting to burst open. 

It all needed time. Not the time I gave them, or expected, but what was necessary. 

And so things may not happen as we wish they would, when we wish they could, but they will. We just have to be patient and trust the process. Easier said than done, I know. But, at least I have a beautiful flowering garden to admire while I wait.

Life gets so busy and stressful sometimes that I f Life gets so busy and stressful sometimes that I forget I have so much to heal my soul and relax me right at my finger tips…

I get what it is to be from the big city and not being able to imagine a life so beautiful anywhere else. It certainly was me. 

And then, I came to the Finger Lakes…and the rest is history.

Have you ever been to a shop so pretty and cozy it Have you ever been to a shop so pretty and cozy it makes you emotional? In NYC, @niconeco_zakkaya is up there as a fave for me. 

This Japanese-inspired stationary boutique in the East Village gives me all the fuzzy feels and I was sad to hear that after 8 years unharmed, their charming shop sign was vandalized. 

They are calling on a creative illustrator who might be interested in bringing a new one to life. Check their Insta for more. And as always, support, shop, and give all the love to small businesses wherever you live and your travels may take you. And next time you are in the East Village, go check them out, and their cafe in Williamsburg, @loafonpaperny (see my reel on them). My 🫶🏾 to this little shop.
