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

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.

Do you know if they are located in a nice area and if the weather there is better than NYC?

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

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

Snow pants, thick socks, gloves, goggles, hat (unless you rent a helmet). If it's very cold I'd recommend long johns and a ski mask

goggles can't be rented together with skis?

if u don't have points u are pretty stuck. Living social had a special on the adjacent townhouse on property a lil while back but that is prob dead. Search equinox tow homes deal and see if groupon/travelzoo or someone else has a deal still available, usually about 200 a night for a suite (note that isn't SPg and u don't get SPg points or perks).

I was thinking of going to vermont for chol hamoed.
This time of year is best to view foliage.
Anyone have ideas of attractions for a 4 and 2 year old.
Any recommendations on what area to stay?
