A Vermont ski resort poll

Backcountry ski touring in northern Vermont

I'm so looking forward to some backcountry skiing around the spine of the Green Mountains this weekend! While northern Vermont missed this week's coastal storm, it looks like we'll get some light snow through the weekend. I'm packing my goggles!

I enjoyed a nice cross-country ski at the end of the day yesterday near home in the Champlain Valley. We made our own route along a river and the edges of some corn fields. There was ample snow and while it was a bit crusty in sunny spots, it was not in the shady areas.

I thought I'd try doing some polls of Skimaven readers. Here's the first question:

<link internal-link>If you had the day off of work or school, and you could be flown via helicopter to any Vermont alpine ski resort within minutes, which resort would you go to?
