If you're going to ski in Vermont, goto a real ski mountain instead of an expensive touristy one with shiny magazine ads.

best glades and off trail skiing in Vermont. 8 lifts and a tram. Cheap tickets too. The facilities aren't that fancy but its so far north the mass-holes and other pesky flatlanders stay away.

I live there so while you might consider this biased info, I consider it local knowledge.
