Ski and Fun at Pico Mountain, Killington, VT

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!
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…

Rode the ferry a few minutes from Dumbo to Williamsburg for a stroll and some delicious coffee. 

Walked through Domino Park and into @birdeenyc, where I just had to taste a few of their delicious pastries and churro latte! 

Then strolled over to @loafonpaperny and shopped for some pretty stationary goodies while sipping on their Earl Grey Matcha. 

The perfect way to kick off a stunning day in the city!

My list of fave cafes continues to grow, and I am saving them in my “NY Cafes” highlights for those who are following along. ☕️

This hike, in Chestnut Ridge Park, near Orchard Park, a suburb of Buffalo, NY, is a moderate, 1.5-mile round trip (more or less) that takes you on forest trails, with some stairs, and creek walking; so definitely bring waterproof shoes with grip. This popular spot can get crowded, but if you’re lucky enough to have a solo experience like we did (because of rain), it’s pretty magical.
The most perfect date night in the most perfect li The most perfect date night in the most perfect little bistro in the most perfect New York destination. No, not NYC. The Finger Lakes. 

The entire experience at @deanlanedining felt so incredibly elevated and special, and some might even say unexpected, especially from a farmhouse in rural Dundee, NY. 

Husband and wife team, Michael and Lisa Dean create a wonderful farm-to-table prix fix menu, beautifully paired with wines selected by Sommelier @danbrezinsky, who, for as long as the moment allows, further complements the first tastings with a sharing of his deep knowledge and passion for the Finger Lakes wines he serves. The individual pairings per course (4) are optional but I do highly recommend as they influenced each dish and in some cases, my opinion of certain wines. 

The vibe is intimate and personally, I enjoyed the early seating as I got to admire the sunset through the large dining room windows throughout my time there.

Their highly coveted B&B is fully booked for 2026, but reservations are open for limited seating at the restaurant, with menus changing weekly. 

An absolute highlight, and a must during your visit to the Finger Lakes!

Life is changing and moving fast, which can be ove Life is changing and moving fast, which can be overwhelming and unsettling. But I can always count on these beautiful Finger Lakes mornings to ease my mind and soul. Taking nothing for granted. 

Special shoutout to @workingclass_coffee for caffeinating me this AM.

One of the dreamiest of views for me, that I don’t think I will ever tire of, is mist over the hills and lakes. And rainy seasons like these are perfect for such moments. 

After an eventful evening (and thank you all for the love and congratulatory messages🤎), I am eager to spend this rainy day back at my computer getting work done. 

It’s a wonderful thing to be immersed in a region you love, and to often be tasked to share its stories with others, it’s a whole other thing when regional representatives not only notice it, but reward you for it.

To listen to others get on stage and talk about that work with such admiration and awe still feels surreal and beyond flattering. It’s overwhelming. And I am grateful beyond words, and excited to continue to do the best that I can for as long as I am welcomed and given the opportunity to do so.

So whether it is for work (@braveworldmedia) or on this page, I am happy to share the stories and many reasons why we, along with so many others, decided to make this our home. ❤️

Thanks for the support and for following along.
