With base depths exceeding five feet at many areas, any snow this week or next would be icing on an already well-decorated cake. Snowfall this season has been much more in keeping with a real Vermont winter. We're looking forward to more of the same for the Presidents' week holiday and beyond. Vermont alpine areas offer more than 1,100 trails on more than 5,700 acres of terrain, served by the most modern, high-speed lifts available and the venerable vintage single chair at Mad River Glen. From gondolas to Jay Peak's aerial tram, Vermont ski areas' uphill capacity is so enormous that visitors spend their time making turns, not waiting in lift lines.
Conditions are equally terrific at Vermont's cross-country areas.
With machine-groomed and tracked trails at most areas, Vermont offers an unparalleled diversity of terrain across the state. Nordic skiers can celebrate winter on more than 1,000 kilometers of trails through tens of thousands of acres of Vermont woodlands and meadows. This forum is for everyone. Inc.
