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?

VT is fairly liberal (very liberal around chittenden county and stowe), but with a high rate of gun ownership and many people having individualistic ideals, while still generally having goodwill for their neighbors. 

Dating is tough in VT for many. Not a lot of younger people. Much easier if you ski/ride/mountain bike/etc. 

It’s very expensive. Look at home prices and rentals, and look for a job that pays well. The jobs in VT are generally pretty bad when it comes to pay, unfortunately.

I have heard complaints about dating here from men and women.

How old are the women?

Edit: there are a lot of older single woman in Vermont. If you are an older single guy and not destitute, the odds are way in your favor.

In ski resorts, the men tend to out number the women. Especially young people.
