THINGS TO DO IN OR AROUND VERMONT

Battenkill Valley Outdoors -  1414 State Rt 313 Cambridge, NY. 518-677-3311. Bike rentals. Can bike on back country roads nearby into Vt. They have one tandem bike. Call in advance to reserve it!
Mount Equinox – Skyline Drive, Manchester, VT. Also called Equinox Preservation Trust.
Hildene- Mansion and beautiful grounds (with a garden with a view of the mointains) of Robert Lincoln- abe's son and an original restored Pullman train car
Bromley Mountain – 3984 Vt. Rt. 11 Peru, VT. 802-824-5522 (fun park: zipline, chairlift, alpine slide & more)
Emerald Lake State Park – US 7 North Dorset, Dorset, VT. 802-409-7579
Stratton Mountain – 5 Village Lodge Rd. Stratton Mountain. 802-448-8528
 
Follow Molly Stark Trail that begins in Bennington, VT. Scenic drive. Along the trail, there are a few things that we can do:
Hogback Mountain
Woodford State Park (boating on adams reservoir and a nice hike near it)


Things to do in Killington, VT
K1 Express Gondola – Killington Rd
Thundering Falls Trail – can bring a stroller to this simple scenic walk to a beautiful waterfall
Killington Pico Adventure Center – 4763 Killington Rd. 800-734-9435. Think the gondola is included in this program. Mountain coaster, alpine slides, zip line, etc.

please add your own ideas

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g28966-Activities-Vermont.html maybe check this out as it is broken to sub-categories based on cities. It all depends on where your going to be as Vermont is fairly big.

Just stumbled across this thread. Is there a nice place to go for some really nice water sports? (Jet Ski mostly)

We're going to Equinox next week Tuesday-Friday with our 5 & 6 year old kids, hope to make a TR. there is kids stuff to do (nice little hikes and paddle boats), and a nice-looking park at Bromley nearby.

Headed to Vermont for the weekend, iy"h!

Never skiied, but I'd like to try it out.

Aside from the items you can rent- what winter/outerwear gear is a must?

Will I freeze without proper snow pants?
