Vermont is home to a number of the nation’s most popular ski resorts. Okemo Mountain Resort is popular not only for its many trails, but for a wide range of off-slope activities and facilities. With 121 trails on more than 650 acres of slopes, Okemo Mountain is the ideal destination for skiers of every skill level, especially when considering the resort’s convenient location in south-central Vermont.
Stowe Mountain Resort is another of the state's many highly rated ski destinations. Mount Mansfield, the highest point in the state, and nearby Spruce Peak are at the center of Vermont ski country, helping to establish Stowe as the heart of New England ski culture. Unsurprisingly, Stowe is also one of the most enduring resorts, having first catered to skiers back in 1937.
Finally, Jay Peak can be found just south of the Canadian border. This somewhat remote location is offset by the fact that Jay Peak receives more natural snowfall than any other east coast resort. Typically, more than 80 percent of its 385 acres remain skiable through late May.
Other popular ski resorts in Vermont include Stratton Mountain, Killington, and Mount Snow.
