Winter in Vermont is picture postcard perfect. You’ve seen the
Clydesdale ad, with the horse drawn sleigh gliding over fresh
sparkling snow. That popular clip was filmed at Vermont's Sugarbush.
The setting of rolling snow-covered mountains, the backdrop to church
steeples and quaint New England towns, is only one reason to go.
The real story lies in the long snow season, you can ski for six
months here at Killington and carve Vermont's highest peak at
Stowe. There are 18 ski areas to choose from in the Green
Mountain state. Vermont’s ski areas are diverse, you will find
sophisticated resorts with the latest in lifts and snowmaking, and
classic ski mountains like Smugglers Notch with time honored trail skiing
or adventurous glade terrain at Jay Peak, and several
friendly smaller ski hills such as Suicide Six and Bolton Valley.
Vermont is a great choice for a family ski vacation. The scenery is
beautiful, the folks are friendly and The Green Mountains are
perfectly white in winter.
