Winter and summer are the duel peak tourist seasons in Vermont. The
winter season’s scenery and ski-resorts draws big crowds and high
prices. Summer gets equally large crowds and tourist season prices at
the beaches and quaint New England resort towns. Fall’s pleasant
weather and beautiful red and orange leaves is a small tourist season
in its own right, so only spring is really considered and off-season
in Vermont. Bargain hunters will find spring the best bet for cheap
rates and plenty of room. State Abbreviation: VT
