Vermont conjures up images of snow capped trees and small New England style villages and towns and for the most part this is correct. It is a romantic playground and one that is easily accessible due to its superb position and access to a major gateway. It is a state that in our opinion should be one of the top of your list for boarding and skiing every year!

If there is one word that describes Vermont and its inhabitants, it is "independent". Vermonters have retained that independence by fighting off claims to their territory by neighbouring states. Vermont can be divided into six geographical land regions; the Northeast Highlands, the Western New England Upland, the Green Mountains, the Vermont Valley, the Taconic Mountains, and the Champlain Valley.
