Nothing beats a Vermont winter.  The air gets cold, the nights get long, and there is a still silence that wraps its inhabitants in a calming sense of ease. While the nights are meant for snuggling up with a warm drink and a blanket, the days are meant to be spent on the slopes. Sugarbush is one of Vermont's most popular skiing locations enjoyed by travelers and Vermont locals alike.

Sugarbush offers a SugarXpress card that you can reload with your phone. No more need to wait in ticket lines for the lift. price depends on which mountain and how late you get your tickets. There are six peaks total and over 100 trails. It's impossible to be bored at Sugarbush. Barbara's homestay even offers a special discount for ski season. Check out her profile for more info.

Only a few hours drive up from Vermont is the Canadian city, Montreal. And just outside of Montreal is Bromont, a ski slope where you can night ski. It is a unique slope in that since, and it is very close to the city. So stay in Montreal, see the sites, and then hit the slopes.

Bromont offers a unique perk. You can ski at night on 102 different lit runs. As far as normal, daylight trails go, Bromont is not lacking. There are 142 trails total. The mountain has an elevation of 1,853 feet above sea level and 1,263 feet from base to summit.
