If you are trying to decide between a ski trip out west or to VT, here is some guidance from a Skimrv.com Forum member today, Jan 30:

“Despite all the howling about the bad conditions a month ago and the often heard cry, “this sucks I’m going out west” the season has turned around. The west except for the PNW has not seen alot of snow this season. Even the big storms we saw on the news in Denver was concentrated on the front range and the resorts west into the mountains didn’t get the big dump.

“The first western resort to fall off the table this season is June Mountain, sister resort to Mamouth Mt. in CA. They are throwing in the towel and closing due to lack of snowfall this season. Heavenly, Squaw and Mammoth long used to huge Sierra dumps are still only 70% open. There are resorts 100% open but the skiing has not been like you see in the brochures. Even Utah has not seen alot of new snow in the last 2/3 weeks.

One of my favorite blogs has posted a couple of new entries which will be of interest to travelers visiting southern Vermont.

The South West Vermont Blog today has an article about a beautiful museum that I have wanted to visit for a long time, the Southern Vermont Art Center.

And the prior blog entry recommends some “off the beaten path” hiking in the Arlington area which ties in nicely with my post below about hiking.

Southern VT is a beautiful area to tour and I always recommend to travelers that they spend two or three days there and two or three here in the more northern part of the state. That way, it’s easy to make day trips not only around Vermont but also the Adirondacks in NY (Lake Placid, Lake George, Saranac Lake, etc), the White Mountains of NH, and even Montreal, an easy 2.5 hours drive from us - roughly the same as Arlington and other southwest VT villages.

Four days in a row Northwest Airlines canceled more than 10% of its flights because of a pilot shortage, there are concerns that this could be repeated in late July and late August.

“Joe Brancatelli, who runs the business travel advice website JoeSentMe.com and is a freelance USATODAY.com columnist, is advising readers not to book flights on Northwest in the latter half of July or August, heavy summer travel months when Northwest crews can again be expected to run up against monthly limits on their work hours.” Read more on USATODAY.
