pico- alway drive by it, never stop. for some reason, always go to overdeveloped, over crowded k-ton. save $, and get more fresh at pico is what i've heard the deal there is.
google earthed it- it's got pretty good aspect for snow preservation (basically a northern exposure)- and is based right at the high point on route 4 passing through dem hills- good for upslope(?)
know there was talk for years to connect up to k-ton, but no permits or some other development/land issue killed that talk. i do see a trail/truck path that connects to ram's head that traverses from near-summit at pico, winding around- i bet there's some tree shots between the pico's summit and this track.
also
seems there's a narrow, almost perfectly straight trail (a powerline trail maybe?) that runs direcltly up the lookers right-side of the mountain- skiing off the top, it would be beyond giant killer on far skier's left.
i'm very intrigued about pico- its not as expensive as most, unpopular (more freshies?) and i'm gathering there's a fair amount of off-the-map skiing. anybody have any experience on the mountain?
