In the past several seasons, huge strides have been made to increase snowmaking capacity at Pico Mountain, part of a $5 million mountain improvement plan. 

Over the summer of 2023, we completely rebuilt our snowmaking pump house, enabling us to operate at maximum capacity, especially during the coldest days. The pipeline between the pump house and pond is being upsized as well. We've also added 25 new high efficiency HKD snow guns to the fleet, both fixed and mobile. Look for 15 new tower guns to roar on Lower 49er throughout the season and additional guns at work on Fool's Gold and in key locations around the mountain. 

It's not just snowmaking that is being improved at Pico. The Summit Express quad got an all-new haul line over summer of 2023. Skiers and riders can enjoy a more comfortable ride on the Little Pico Triple thanks to new seat pads and inside the base lodge, repairs to the fireplace has let a wood fire to crackle once again.
