The Green Mountains, a signature symbol for the state of Vermont itself, are a premier, four-season travel destination. Hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and viewing the maple leaves - resplendent in their changing fall colors, are but a few of the favored activities. Of course, there is also the downhill skiing for which Vermont is so famous. Killington/Pico, Stowe, Sugarbush, and Stratton are some of the top ski resorts in the area. Take in the apres ski life and stay in an authentic country inn (for which Vermont is so well known), in the smaller communities surrounding these resorts such as Killington, Village of Stowe, Warren, Waitsfield and Manchester Center.
