Hunting is tough in Vermont. Stick to Maine.
my family has had a home in Vermont, Halifax/Jamaica & pico peak area, for 70+ years. Grew up skiing fast, crunchy conditions. There’s no such thing as “ice”.
any of the small towns on rte 100 can be fun. Long trail brewery is a fun novelty. Heady topper if you’re into that and they are running a batch. A few local bars can be a trip. Appalachian trial, any part. Okemo/Rutland/Stowe areas for the most luxurious Pampering New England can offer outside of Boston. my Wife loves Woodstock vt and she highly dislikes New England. Period.
have fun. Great time of year catching the end of fall foliage.
