I have a hiking trip to Green Mountain near Rutland planned for this week, but I'm getting the impression it's a little dicey right now (ie: 5-6 inches of snow on the ground?)

Does anybody know what the trail conditions are like right now? Is it more of a snowshoeing operation at this point?

Picked up a camera battery someone dropped out on the Colchester causeway. If you lost one l'll be happy to return it

I’m doing work for grad school working on hypothetical wind turbine farm proposals and chose to do mine in VT. I feel that there has always been a fair amount of opposition to real wind turbine projects here. Based on my research I realized just how necessary it was to place them on ridge lines to make them efficient and affordable. I’ve never really thought they would look that bad and would actually be pretty cool. I’m not saying we put them on camels hump or mansfield but would you support seeing more wind turbines on the tops of the green mountains?

Bought a precut Christmas tree in Franklin County from a tree farm. Had this goop that we thought was snow, but instead turned out to be scentless, jelly like substance. Does not leave a residue when washed off hands. Not sticky, so I dont think it's sap.

Paradise Burrito went out of business while I was living out of state. 15 years later, I’m still craving their Thai Chicken Wrap.

Any former employees know the recipe or brand of peanut sauce? And I don’t remember but…was there red or green cabbage involved?

Going up, the nexus aisle had neither the red or green light lit and the booth was empty. We went through the regular lane and the agent told us nexus is always open - there is a button to press to talk to someone.

Coming back into the us the Sunday of the Thanksgiving weekend, nexus was closed according to a sign which is smaller than all other signs.

It took us 12 months and a long commute for an interview for these cards. And they are useless when the border is bysy?

Looking to find other people to play squash with and I'm wondering if there are any facebook groups or anything like that for Vermont Squash.

Seems like options are limited for courts in this state - Middlebury, UVM (do these still exist?), the Edge in SB and then Dartmouth. Anyone know of any other places?

My wife and I live in Texas, she is a music teacher of 2.5 years with multiple certifications within the state of Texas, including music education and ESL.

For reasons that may or may not be obvious, staying in Texas has become untenable for a young couple like us so we were hoping to move elsewhere to some place like Vermont. She's already applied to transfer her teaching certification from Texas to your state and is just waiting for a response. We wanted to know how likely it would be to get an approval and whether or not an ESL certification from Texas would also be transferable in a similar fashion. If there are any with knowledge on the subject who are willing to help, we'd be appreciative.

Best place to host a 5 year old kids bday party? Around Burlington area, chitteden and northern Addison counties.

Fill in the blank. For various reasons I'll keep to myself for now I'm looking into the possibility of starting a small family business. I love the idea of a mexican food truck and slinging breakfast tacos (at least to start) or something along those lines.

Before getting too wrapped up in any ideas I'd love to get a sense for what people think might be well received. To be more specific this would be Danville/St. J area. Big fan of Caja Madera and Arandas but they're a bit far. Javier Bills just opened in St. J recently but haven't tried it. What would you like to see? Trying to be realistic about what the area wants and would support vs. what I think they'd want and support.

Thanks for your insight!

Edit: whatever you do don’t read my post and just say something like “space station” or “infrastructure”.

Greetings! My partner and I are getting married in Brandon next September and are looking for a DJ. Should be a simple task, however we are looking to find someone who doesn’t just play “wedding music” and is a DJ that can keep a small bar/club/house party dancing. No Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Journey, Taylor Swift… I understand some of the artists listed below show up at a lot of weddings and that is OK, but overall trying to avoid the Spotify wedding playlist vibe. 

A little about us to help give an idea of what we we are after. We both grew up on 90s-00s hip hop (The Roots, Gang Starr, Pete Rock, Count Bass D, Lil Wayne, Lost Boyz), indie & alternative (Postal Service/Death Cab, Santigold, Florence and the Machine, MGMT, Bon Iver, LCD Soundsystem), soul & funk (Etta James, Bill Withers, James Brown, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse) and a splash of electronic (Bonobo, Pretty Lights, Tycho, Flume). The first gifts we ever exchanged were tickets to the same Beast Coast (Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies, and company) concert without knowing the other person was also doing the same. As it is for so many people, music is a cherished part of our relationship and we want our wedding to reflect that. While we’re not expecting to get a DJ of this caliber, a few examples of what we are after would be Wefunk Radio, Cercle sets, Boiler Room, and Statik Selektah’s Showoff Radio. My partner grew up in Vermont and we currently live in Denver so we’re not familiar with the music scene in Vermont right now and would appreciate any recommendations! 

Thank you for your help!

TLDR: need a less-traditional wedding DJ.

I never had interest in learning and owning a gun. Now, I am. I know I’d be more comfortable with a women only class…or a place that wouldn’t be Trump/Maga obsessed.

I found one class in NH: Women's Handgun & Self-Defense but it’s over 2 hours away from me.

Is there anything in the Franklin/Chittenden counties? Thanks.

Sometimes I see people selling cutting boards outside places like tractor supply. They are made by people in rehab or those re-integrating after prison I think. Does any know where I can find them currently? Is it the same organization as https://www.thecarpentersshop.org/ ? Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm researching the Coos County Wood Devil for an upcoming podcast episode (info in bio if interested)!

It's a 7-9-foot, bigfoot-like creature that is rail thin and lets out a hideous scream! It also apparently has a disturbing odor you can smell when it's around! It has grey hair and moves so fast that it's hard to get a good glimpse of it!

I was curious if anyone had any experiences or knew any of the lore/stories behind this cryptid! If you do, please share! If you also have had first-hand experiences, please DM me if you don't want it here. I would never, and will never, share any experiences anywhere without prior consent! But I want to take in as much of this as possible.

Although this is an NH cryptid, if it's real, there must be stories or experiences in VT, too. So, VT, what's going on in those woods?!?!

Open until 11

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can answer this.

I'm going to use Stowe Mountain Resort as my example.

Prior to 2017, If someone wanted to ski at Stowe they would need to buy a lift ticket or a season pass and would pay 6% sales tax whether they were in stare or out of state.

With the introduction of Mega passes. Someone from Pennsylvania could by an Epic Pass online, ski at Stowe and never pay the 6% sales tax for there visit. Even though they recieved the same goods and services as before.

Are we getting screwed out of tax dollars or am I missing something?

I used Vail Resorts as my example but this applies to Alterra and Indy passes as well.

Phosphorescent like fireflies, life that pops out of nowhere, brilliant vivid and beautiful, popping out just as quickly, all hinged on the door of internal action. Waiting for the beep, a sprint to the other beep and it's gone.

Hello all,

I hope this post is appropriate for this sub. My wife and I plan on visiting your beautiful state the first part of January and we’d like to ski the different mountains. We’ll likely be there 7-8 days and want to hit the following:

Killington Sugarbush Smugglers Notch or Jays Peak

We’ll be flying into Burlington. My question - would it make more sense to find lodging near each mountain or at one central location as each mountain is less than 2 hours away? If the latter, what’s a good central location?

And last question - would 2 days in Killington and 1 day each at Sugarbush/Smugglers or JP be sufficient to cover most trails?

Thanks!
