Around
this time of year many Vermonters are itching to escape the cold and snow and
head south. But
with the current economic downturn, tropical vacations are out of reach for a

This

already-substantial snowpack. Ski
resorts say the weather has been a gift from the sky that has helped them get
through the recession.
