基灵顿与皮科滑雪场雪季前大型工程接近完工
佛蒙特州拉特兰县基灵顿——11月3日，基灵顿度假村与皮科山分享了雪季前工程的最新进展，两座滑雪场的多项大型休赛季工程已接近完工。基灵顿方面，本赛季最大的工程是把旧的 Snowdon 三人吊椅更换为新的固定式四人吊椅，目前新吊椅工程已接近完成。
与此同时，皮科山正在为外围地形区安装新的拖牵索道，原有吊椅退役后，这条索道将帮助滑雪者到达外围区域。两座雪场还完成了造雪系统升级，其中基灵顿 Conclusion 雪道的造雪能力得到重点提升，此外还有雪道标识更新、吊椅检修和夏季项目升级。
受暖锋影响，基灵顿的开业时间预计还要再等几天，皮科山的预计开业日为12月11日。度假村方面表示，未来10至15年还计划投入2亿美元用于升级，包括继续推进 K-1 缆车现代化、皮科外围四人吊椅和针眼小屋等项目。

Killington and Pico Near Completion of Major Offseason Projects Ahead of Ski Season
Killington, Rutland County, Vermont — Killington Resort and Pico Mountain shared an update on November 3 on their pre-season construction, with several major offseason projects at both ski areas nearing completion. At Killington, the season's biggest project — replacing the old Snowdon triple chairlift with a new fixed-grip quad — is nearly finished.
At Pico, a new rope tow is being installed for the Outpost terrain pod; with the old chairlift retired, the tow will carry skiers to the outpost terrain. Both resorts have also upgraded their snowmaking systems, with a notable boost to snowmaking capacity on Killington's Conclusion trail, along with updated trail signage, lift refurbishments and summer attraction upgrades.
A warm front means Killington's opening is expected to wait a few more days, while Pico's projected opening date is December 11. The resorts said they plan to invest $200 million in upgrades over the next 10 to 15 years, including continued modernization of the K-1 gondola, a Pico Outpost quad chairlift and the Needle's Eye lodge.
