Winter in Vermont: short days, long months, cold weather, and lots of time spent indoors. Often, finding fun things to do with the whole family can seem bleak and limiting, especially when the warm indoors lulls us into a state of laziness. But it doesn’t need to feel like that, nor do we have to stay inside. To help you out of a lethargic slump, these eight winter attractions for the whole family will reignite your enthusiasm to venture out of the house and enjoy some fun-filled Vermont winter activities.
1. Tubing at Smugglers' Notch Resort (Jeffersonville)
