Hiking
There is an incredible amount of great hiking in Northern Vermont. I would particularly reccomend the Willoughby Cliffs Natural Area 950 acres (includes cliffs and forested buffer zone), Willoughby State Forest, town of Westmore. The spectacular cliffs of Mt. Pisgah and Mt. Hor rise vertically from Lake Willoughby, and these boreal calcareous cliffs harbor a diversity of rare and endangered plant species. Peregrine falcons also nest on the cliffs. There are excellent hiking trails here, offering fine views of the entire region. A National Natural Landmark (1967).
Skiing and Snowboarding
Exhilarating downhill skiing and snowboarding are offered at two renowned resorts in the Kingdom. The Burke Mountain Resort offers a classic New England ski experience with excellent trails and a "down home" casual atmosphere. Jay Peak Resort is a European style resort boasting the highest number of "powder days" in Vermont. Enjoy the view from the tram as you ride to the 360-degree summit! Lessons and rentals are available at both resorts.

Jay Peak Resort (800) 451-4449, (802) 988-2611 or visit JayPeakResort.com.
