Winter's Original State

Nowhere does winter like Vermont. With 20 alpine ski resorts, 30 cross-country touring centers and 7,300 acres of alpine terrain, this is a skier’s paradise. Whether or not you ski or ride, there's no shortage of ways to seize the season. 

Snowshoeing is a great way to get outside and experience the magic and beauty of Vermont's winters. Find a Vermont State Park to explore on snowshoes or cross-country skis. If speed is more your thing, try snowmobiling - there's no better way to see Vermont's snowy forests, mountains and scenery. 

Ice fishing is a great way to enjoy Vermont's lakes when the snow flies – plus, you can bring home dinner. With many of Vermont's waters open for ice fishing season, the choices are abundant. 

After a long day enjoying Vermont's outdoors, head inside and cozy up with music, theater, and dance performances or treat yourself at one of Vermont’s award-winning spas.
