Can i buy Killington tickets @ Pico?

i ask because next weekend is K/P discount days for my ski club (K on Sat and P on Sun). i'm thinking 2 days @ pico and wondering, since K tickets are good at P, that i can be lazy and just buy the K ticket at P and stay there rather than driving over to K (not sure where i'll be staying for lodging yet).

I don't know. That said, I will say that crowds really haven't been too bad. So if your reason for not wanting to ski Killington is out of concern for weekends crowds, unless you really have a love affair with the K-1 Gondola, Skye Peak Quad, or Rams Head Quad, you will probably not have an issue.

If you just like Pico, go for it.

i'll be skiing with my daughter and her friend - fun easy cruising is their style. If we end up at K i'd image spending most of the day @ Rams Head and Snowden. since we're staying on RT 4 towards Rutland so i was thinking easy peasy ski @ Pico.

Right where I want to be
I heard this past Saturday was pretty busy at K. Road w/ some pass holders on Sunday and they said Saturday was the worst it had been all year. They said they ended up leaving at 10:30-45 because every line was long.

Every line was long at Loon as well this past Saturday even at North and South Peak this past Saturday w/ the gondola line being well over 20 minutes and Seven Bros at about 15. Best shelter was the double to gondola summit which was a traffic jam to get through w/ just the liftie loading chairs being at the base. So even that was loading every chair for almost all day.
