Here’s Why A Trip To This Vermont Ski Town Makes A Memorable Early Spring Adventure

Early spring can be a difficult time to travel. On the one hand, most travelers are more than ready for winter to be over. Yet most of the country isn't warm enough to fully embrace spring. Today, we'll introduce you to an off-the-radar destination that makes a perfect late winter or early spring destination: Manchester, Vermont. Whether you're a snow bunny or enjoy the charms of maple trees, you'll love what this mountainous town has to offer this time of year.

Welcome to the charming town of Manchester, Vermont. Located between the Taconic Range and the beautiful Green Mountains, the area is a convenient drive from both Boston and New York City. Those looking for late-season skiing will be thrilled to find that most of the area's ski destinations, namely Mount Snow, Bromley Mountain, and Stratton Mountain, stay open through March.
