Snow
When people think of winter sports, they usually envision downhill skiing and snowboarding – and Vermont won’t disappoint you! We have some amazing mountains with all levels of difficulty. Don’t downhill ski or snowboard? No need to feel left out! Try your feet at snowshoeing or rent a snowmobile. The Green Mountain Valley also has some wonderful cross-country skiing opportunities.
Enjoy the snow!
