EDGE Denver

November heralds the beginning of winter in the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York, and everyone - from alpine skiers and boarders, to families looking for a quick winter retreat, is gearing up for snow.

With another snowy La Nina winter slated and epic predictions from the Old Farmer’s Almanac, snowmaking operations will commence with early season rail jams and the laying of a smooth and pristine snow base.

Among the variety of new construction and improvements at Vermont’s resorts, one theme unifies. These snow-centric businesses listen to their guests and year after year, strive to create the best possible experience for their extended family of skiers.

The solitude, quiet and frozen cold of a winter landscape are great reasons to head outdoors in January and February. You can snowshoe, ski, trek or go sledding. Sleep overnight in a tent, lean-to, yurt or cabin.

Merry Christmas, and all the rest!
