Just two weeks into the New Year, Burlington, Vermont has already surpassed the record for the snowiest January ever. The above-average snowfall, along with New England’s most powerful snowmaking system, has Vermont resorts in prime shape for skiing and snowboarding for the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.
“The nationally-reported record snowfall in Vermont has had our phones ringing off the hook,” said Ski Vermont President Parker Riehle. “Vermont’s easy highway access for all skiers and riders who live within a day’s drive of our mountains means more people can play more, travel less and get here quickly with all their luggage intact. And, with snow in the forecast nearly every day this week, all of Vermont’s ski trails will be in top form for the long holiday weekend.”
Sunshine, more snowflakes and statewide reports of prime conditions will greet skiers and riders this weekend as resorts are readying their slopes for that extra day to enjoy Vermont. And, Vermont resorts provide the perfect Learn-To Ski/Ride experience for those thinking about jumping into the sport with a quick weekend getaway – the perfect way to take advantage of the MLK long weekend.
In addition to gorgeous groomers and glades - several resorts now have halfpipes open in addition to the greatest variety of terrain parks in New England.
