Winter Activities
Although 57 trails, 6 lifts, and 19 miles of terrain is enough to keep even the most avid skier or rider busy, vacations are not measured by numbers alone.
Shops, entertainment, off-mountain snow activities, museums and local nooks and crannies present endless opportunities for a well-deserved day away from the slopes. Take a break and check out the natural beauty that surrounds us—it's stunning at any time of year. Vermont displays a quiet beauty in the winter, from covered bridges heavy with fresh snowfall to hillside farms and quaint towns. Stop along the way at a brewery for a craft-brewed sample.
