I'm sad to say that every time I visit Pico, I end up being harassed by at least one staff member due to having two disabilities. They see the characteristics of an autistic person as suspicious or insubordinate and we become targets of people on power trips. That's a pattern of discrimination. I feel very unwelcome at Pico as a person with autism. Usually it's out on the mountain that I have issues, (and a teacher I'm close with who works with their adaptive ski program had an awful experience with a ski instructor who was terrible to their autistic students.) but this time it was at the Last Run Lounge, the pub that's upstairs in the Pico lodge.
The Last Run Lounge at Pico is by far the worst dining establishment in the area (and hands down the worst of all the dining establishments I've ever been to at any ski resort) for a multitude of reasons, particularly if you are disabled or a person of color.
First, when our server realized our table consisting of mostly Jewish folks and people of color was closing its tab, she adamantly demanded in front of the whole party that we tip on our full total, not the total after the discount we received for my husband being an employee over at Killington. (That's never happened before, and we had already intended to tip on the full check regardless. Bizarrely rude!) She also initially questioned my husband on the validity of his employee card, which has also never happened in our almost daily visits to the establishments there. How insulting...
After sharing a beer and eating the lounge's overpriced bowling alley food (I had already eaten at home.), I left the table and slowly sipped another beer for about an hour, watching the band. I'd stayed back, as my friends went back out for a couple of runs. Then I thought I'd be nice and pay the tab my friends had been affectionately arguing over before going out. (I thought that my husband had settled on keeping it open for me, but I would later find out from a very aggressive bartender that I was mistaken.)
I'm under 5 feet tall, so after standing and waiting patiently for almost a half hour at a bar that was not busy, I had to speak up and politely say, "excuse me," for the bar tender, Tommy, to notice I even existed. I also have high functioning autism, so I'll admit I'm a bit socially awkward. When he finally acknowledged me, and I asked to close a tab, he very aggressively came back and said there was no tab for our table.
Pleasantly surprised, I thought as an alternative nice gesture, I'd greet my husband after his last run of the day with a can of the beer he liked when he returned to the lodge. I guess this Tommy guy had never met a high functioning autistic person or had proper inclusion training, because he abruptly sniveled, "I'm not serving you," down his nose at me, and turned his back.
I said, "Excuse me, what did I do?"
He turned back around and replied, "I believe you're intoxicated."
"Because I'm autistic? I don't understand. I had a beer and a half over the course of hours." I asked him if it was my height and if he needed my ID? I'd waited almost 30 minutes just to be helped.
So, instead of treating me like a human being and interacting with me any further, he got his manager to come out and smugly grin at me as I explained what happened, trying not to cry, so nervous and confused that I was shaking. I told the manager that the restaurant should treat disabled people with some dignity. But I believe he assumed I was just a rich brat who wanted to beg for a beer the bartender denied me, and he dismissed me. As an autistic person, it's hard to communicate the way most people do in loud, busy environments. But he didn't believe me that I had a disability, and assumed I was just drunk, so he just rolled his eyes.
The racist waitress then chimed in with a highly inflated estimate of the amount of beers I'd had, actually mocking me when I corrected her on the number and explained I actually hadn't drank all of those two beers. (My husband always drinks part of my beer, because I don't like it once it gets warm.) She had already given our party a horrible attitude the entire time she served us, despite how polite we continued to be regardless.
When the manager asked me what I wanted at the end of it all, I wasn't even trying to fight being cut off from getting a beer. I was just so disheartened and appalled that they would treat a person with so much dismissive hostility and mocking judgment, simply based on the fact that they appear or communicate differently than what they're used to. It felt as though I'd been transported to some bygone era when that sort of discrimination was ok.
When my husband later came in to complain, Tommy's explanation for his behavior was that, when I came in, I "already seemed mad." This was blatantly false. (I stood there patiently for 30 minutes, and continued to be polite towards him even after he had become increasingly rude.) The racist waitress also changed her story about the amount she thought I drank. We still had our receipt. Apparently, it sounds as though they were nearly as mocking and dismissive towards him as they were to me, according to his account.
And to top it all off, one of the women in our group received a concussion from a snowboarder trying to catch up to his snowboarding lesson, who had gone down a closed jump, bailed and crashed into her while she was on the ground. The person had obviously not been taught the safety guidelines of skiing before being brought onto the slope. Horrible experience.

When I arrived at Pico, my 13 great old son and I were so excited to get on the mountain, unfortunately we had a major mishap in the parking lot; while putting on our boots and getting ready to head to the lift, I closed the hatchback on our car and the glass shattered. Needless to say this put potentially a major damper on what should've been a great day.
Although there is not a no single autoglass place opened in Rutland on a Sunday even in an emergency (it was snowing), the staff at Pico were generous with their time, sympathetic to our situation. Special shout out to Bobby, who was hands on and assisted in providing garbage bags, tape, cardboard and more than a little elbow grease covering up the damaged window and preventing worse damage from the snow. Additionally, thank you Heather for assisting and the ticket window and saving our very nearly spoiled day.
In light of everything, Pico was a wonderful place to ski and with the limited time we had, we truly did enjoy our time and it did help us get our minds off the car.
I will definitely be coming back!

We went to Pico during a busy weekend when Killington told us their ski school was sold out. We found Pico to be a great place with staff much more attentive to one's needs than other larger resorts. Our kid had a great day in the ski school. despite below 0F temps we all enjoyed the slopes.

Salvo que poseas hijos de muy corta edad, o empieces en este deporte; más de un día es un verdadero desperdicio. Los medios de elevación muy parecidos a los centros de esquí de Sudamérica. Las pistas no presentan mayores desafíos. Fue nula la producción de nieve, y muy humildemente, entendemos las pistas lo necesitaban. He corroborado, y muy gratamente para DESTACAR; la dedicación y esmero de los instructores para personas con capacidades diferentes. ESO SÍ, todos mis aplausos para ellos. -

LOVED Pico mountain- so friendly, chilled out and welcoming. Perfect for families. The scale of it was great - only one parking lot, you park and walk to the resort, there's a room to eat in if you bring your own lunch. All trails lead to the lodge so its simple for kids to navigate

Living in Vermont, we have many options for ski areas, with Pico being our favorite. My daughter is a snowboarder and my husband and I ski. We live close, so we spend quite a bit of time at Pico. The staff and instructors are very friendly and helpful. My daughter had taken private lessons at Pico to work on becoming more comfortable snowboarding on more difficult trails and her instructor is fantastic. The money for the hour private lesson is expensive, but worth it. I believe that a group lesson is much more adorable if you have enough people. The mountain is big enough to really enjoy and navigate, but not too big to get lost. Even when Pico is busy, it is still very easy to find parking and have a great day. The conditions rarely disappoint us.

I’d like to give a shout out to Frank and our amazing volunteer Richard that help us this past weekend with ADA monoskiing! The program is amazing and although it was a busy day with many guest I felt our needs were beyond met! The respect and gratitude from everyone working and volunteering was over the top incredible!

We skied Pico for years. Old style, classic, hill. The hike up Pico Mt. is incredible. Uphill to the ridge, great views. Ridge walk through beautiful forest. Out onto ski trail at 2 miles with incredible views. Back into the woods for the last 0.4 to the summit. Great place to visit.

We certainly have a good time skiing at Pico. We'd rather hit a mountain like this than a mega ski center. Good people, decent prices, and a lot of terrain.

Anyone know if the alpine slide is still in operation?

The alpine slide at Pico no longer exists. They've installed a mountain coaster at Killington. Mountain coaster is fun but not the same thing as an alpine slide. Head south to Bromley is you're looking for an alpine slide. Oddly, it was the first in North America and the last one standing in Vermont that used to have 3 of them.
