"The Most Terrain in the East - If you're a skier or snowboarder - or are thinking of learning - Vermont is the place to be.

More than 20 alpine ski resorts and almost 50 cross-country touring centers dot the state. With 4,500 skiable acres, 900 trails and 150 lifts, Vermont skiing accommodates every level from the advanced downhiller to the training toddler, from moguls and snow-boarding to quiet cross country jaunts on ski or snowshoe.

In the summer, music rings through the hills of Vermont as music camps and festivals come to life. They offer a learning opportunity for musicians and a feast for music lovers as the students display their newly honed skills in public concerts.

Wondering what to do on that off day from the slopes? Here's an option that will give you plenty to talk about back at the office. Dog sledding.

Mid winter sled dog racers are a great way to get a look at this colorful sport, but you can also experience the adventure of winter travel with dogs first hand.

Several outfitters in Vermont offer dog sledding tours. The day starts with a quick introduction to the basics of mushing - dog commands, how to maneuver the sled and more. Then you hop on the sled along side an experienced musher, and you're off behind a team of 8, 10 or even 12 huskies who were literally born to run. Now the fun begins. Picture yourself as the leader of the Iditerod, mushing into the wilderness against all odds. Or, try the ancient art of ski-joring, where you ski across a snowy field pulled by a team of dogs.

Vermont's farms have a proud heritage of hospitality to our visitors. It all started in the 1800's when a traveler found himself at the end of a long day in a town without a hotel.

We can only imagine that someone suggested he try the home of a local farmer, who offered the visitor a bed for the night. The next morning, the visitor awoke to a hearty farm breakfast and, voila, the Vermont bed and breakfast industry was born.

In those days, most Vermont towns were farming communities. Life revolved around the change of the seasons and farm work that accompanied them. And while a farmer's work day typically stretched 16 hours or longer, there was always time for "visiting." Today there are fewer farms but the families on them work just as hard and are just as hospitable.

Vermont's farms have continued to open their doors to visitors for over 100 years.Your farm stay may include comfortable accommodations in a centuries-old farmhouse, followed by a big family-style breakfast of pancakes, home-grown hash browned potatoes and farm-fresh scrambled eggs. Afterward, you might be invited to help with the chores, giving you an opportunity to milk a cow or tend to the sheep. Or you might choose to pick your own apples or strawberries. In every event, you'll also be treated to some of the most beautiful scenery and friendly faces on the planet."
