Pico Mountain partners with United Way for Opening Weekend Fundraiser December 15-17
Killington, Vt. – Pico Mountain is teaming up with the United Way of Rutland County for the second-straight year to raise funds to benefit the local Rutland County community on Pico’s opening weekend December 15th to December 17th.
“We’re very excited to once again team up with the United Way of Rutland County,” said George Potter, Pico Mountain operations manager. “Last year this program was a huge success and exceeded all of our expectations.”
Pico Resort will offer Pico Cards to those who donate $10 or more to the United Way of Rutland County on opening weekend. The Pico Card allows adults to ski or ride for just $29 every day, excluding holidays. Juniors, young adults and seniors pay only $19 per day! The Pico Card includes 50% off a one-day visit to the Pico Sports Center or 25% off a monthly membership. Pico Card holders can upgrade to the “All In” midweek ticket for an additional $20 per day. The Pico “All In” is a new mid-week package exclusive to Pico that includes a lift ticket, performance equipment rentals, two-hour morning Perfect Turn Ski and Snowboard School lesson, lunch voucher, and day pass to Pico Sports Center for only $49 a day for all ages!
Last year skiers and snowboarders flocked to Pico Mountain on opening weekend to assist those in need during the holiday season and experience the best early-season conditions in years - raising $6,643 for the United Way of Rutland County.
Contributions of $10 or more will be accepted at the ticket window, allowing guests to receive a free Pico Card and use it for their first reduced-rate ticket purchase on opening weekend.
Snowmaking is underway at Pico Mountain as we look forward to opening day on Friday, Dec. 15. Pico is scheduled to open with top-to-bottom skiing and riding served by Golden and Summit Express Quad Chairs and up to six trails.
Lift hours at Pico Mountain are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends and holidays. Killington lift tickets are also valid at Pico Mountain.
