There is a lot that makes Vermont a great place to ski. Not only are there 11 downhill ski resorts to choose from, but the Green Mountains get a good supply of big, fluffy flakes, offer thousands of acres of skiable terrain and quaint New England villages to boot. There's even a museum dedicated to the history of skiing in the state, the birthplace of both the tow rope and snowboarding...
There is far more to Wyoming
than Wild West history, shoot-outs and empty space. There are mountains (seven
ranges) and there is snow (more than 400-600 inches). Where snow falls on mountains,
