I am not a hunter or was a brought up hunting. Yet I respect everything you said. If people want to responsibly follow their passions, whatever that might be, I applaud them for it. I am a bit wary of dogs though since I have been bit before. So I understand the trepidation of the original post.

You could make manch in an hour from white river(go 85). But is it a large airport, sort of.

Bradley is smaller than Manchester these days. At least it feels like it is.

I drive a civic in good snow tires. I do not fear the snow. I ski and go to work regardless. I do know how to drive in the snow though. But ya it should be fine if you have snow tires and have some semblance of snow driving skills.

The tires are the things on your car that makes contact with the road.

You are looking down at the covered bridge and waterfalls. On the flip side in the summer jumping into the river you can see the Diners up there.

Smuggs is a great choice. Mad River Glen is also an excellent choice. They have a single base area which is great with kids.

Reply to I have the stick season blues, what's your favorite hike through a pine/hemlock forest? by vtgusto
One thing I love about skiing the northern vermont mountains is the pines. I recomend going up Molly Stark mt or one of the sugarbush mountains. The upper 1000 feet of vertical of beautiful pine and spruce trees. I love to ski Magic mountain, amazing terrain but one of the negatives is it does not really touch upon those forests because of its altitude(a little bit it does. Full respect to the terrain regardless) I have hiked the LT from Lincoln Gap to app gap and you def get a ton of those forests. But it is a major commitment. Check on those mountains for local hikes. On Molly Stark anything above the single chair midstation is amazing. On Sugarbush I recomend the upper castlerock area. For me riding up the single chair at Mad River Glen with a ton of snow and getting past the mid station it almost feels spiritual it is so beautiful. Weaving through those pines skiing takes it to another level but hiking I have no doubt you can find the same clarity.

Reply to First year in VT, where’s the snow? by magic_spaghetti
I grew up in CT. Went to school in Vermont like yourself and have lived here since for 30ish years. Even back in my college days it was often year to year and can be very different from area to area. Burlington is warmer than almost the whole rest of the state for several reasons so generally will have less snow. I went to college in a valley and I remember many times pretty much no snow at school and go up to Mad River Glen and there would be 2+ feet. But generally good winters are not defined by 1 big storm. Its the years that have consistent clippers come through, 6-10 each week. As warm as its been when it gets cold the lake may crank out some serious moisture for the greens. Last year was a pretty mild winter snow wise and the year before the opposite. I am guessing the trend will continue and this one will be better once we get going.

That would be wild. If they put it in around where the AT dumps out its only like 2 miles to smuggs upper base lodge. Would be so fast.
