Before downvoting me, please understand I realize snow and winter is a necessary cycle in the region.

Do I miss it? Not really. I don't ski anymore, as I'm physically unable. I don't have snowmobiles or ATVs. And I generally dislike cold weather (anything below 15°F). I'm one who finds winter depressing. Overcast skies for days on end, cold and uncomfortable, short days and long nights... it affects me.

HOWEVER, I do know it is needed for many reasons. Ecosystem being the main reason, of course. And seeing Vermont's biggest tourism drive is skiing and winter sports, yeah, it's needed. (Obviously, there is more to it than the ecosystem or skiing. I am just giving very simple examples.)
