An East Coast Powder Day

My Takes

Killington really is the BEAST of the East with its huge skiable footprint and wide array of lodging options, it also offers some of the most difficult terrain on the East Coast making it entertaining to even the best of skiers and riders, Pico on the other hand, while still being a good resort, isnt quite the destination resort that Killington is, but still worth a day if youre bored with the slopes of Killington.
