If nothing else, Vermont is famous for its Great Outdoors. The country roads built ages ago. The pastoral farm lands with their age old silos and red barns. The 100 mile views across mountain after green mountain. The covered bridges of yesteryear.

Todays version of the Great Outdoors is replete with the activities that a young, energetic and healthy America searches for and, more importantly, deserves. Golf on scenic mountain courses. Tennis in cool alpine climates. Private freshwater lakes for fishing, waterskiing, sailing, canoeing or jet skiing. Horseback riding down tree lined country roads. And mountain biking on single track isolated trails.

Of course, having one of the Northeast's largest ski resorts right up the road certainly helps make for an energetic and invigorating visit!
