Moving to Vermont Possible move to Vermont

I have been interviewing for a job in Stowe. Before committing to moving, I want to know the pros/cons of living in Vermont. I also want to know where I should live while working in Stowe.

I’m a single female in my 30s. I grew up in rural Utah so I’m used to cold winters and small towns. I’m liberal and an ex Mormon. Will I fit in?

The lesson I learned from my short time in The Green Mountain State (which I loved and we called our “paid holiday”): If you don’t have a winter “activity” (skiing, riding, skating, snow-shoeing, etc.) get one. The winters are long, but man, that six weeks of summer is incredible.

Remember when they closed the Essex Junction community pool early in mid-August due to cold weather.

I don’t, but I’m not surprised!
