Hi all. I'm thinking of moving to Vermont, in part thanks to some of the great threads on this forum. Does anyne know what areas get the heaviest snowfall? We get about 140 inches a year where I live now, and I'd hate to move somewhere that gets much less. Thanks!

Generally, the further north you go, the more snow. Jay Peak resort in far northern Vermont gets the most snow by far..they claim 300+ inches just about every year. Then again, that could be the marketing department talking.
Newport, along the CDN border averages 101''.

I immediately thought of Jay Peak too, but I'm guessing that's on the slopes, not in Montgomery Center or the nearby towns.

The 300' is on the slopes of Jay and is legit but the towns near the spine of the Greens and up north get the most snow. Newport is north but being on the lake it's low elevation compared to the towns near Jay Peak. Nearby Hazen Notch gets a bunch of snow too. So as far a what town I would say the Town of Jay.

Mongomery is on the western side of the peaks, Jay and Big Jay, so I would bet they get a bunch too. Stowe(the resort) avg is 260", Sugarbush is 240". All three resorts beat the avg the past two winters. The state snow stake on on Mt. Mansfield and you can go to several websites and check it.

The old-timers saying " the brighter the trees in fall, means an early winter". We still have snow today on the upper mountain of Sugarbush. We start making snow Nov 1st, weather permitting.

When I am driving south on I89 it's amazing the diference in weather and amount of snow from my house in Waitsfield to White River Jct.

Thanks for the input and the link. I'm glad to hear Vermont gets decent snow totals in some places. In NY the snow depends on where you are relative to lakes Erie and Ontario; it sounds like it depends more on elevation and latitude in Vermont. I'm thinking the area west of Burlington looks like a good bet, around Underhill, Jefferson, and Cambridge.
