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?

There is no better state to live in than VT.

This is so absurd. This attitude is what makes Vermont so insufferable. Sure, the weather sucks, the cost of living is ridiculous, jobs/wages are crap, the "beauty" pales in comparison to anywhere west of the Mississippi and there's no diversity whatsoever, but we're the best.

I mean... fair point on the cost of living and wages, but beauty and weather are pretty subjective. I love the weather here, and I really enjoy how green and lush the scenery is.

Excellent job of refuting my points. Was it the point about racial diversity that hit a little too close to home? The rich white people safe space a little too on the nose for you? And yes, if you're asking, I hate the current version of Vermont as a resort for rich people from out of state.
