Vermont is a hot spot for skiers and riders every winter, but two ski resorts in particular are in high demand this season, according to a recent study.
Holidu, a search engine for vacation rentals, analyzed Google searches to determine the 50 most popular ski resorts in the U.S. for the 2024-25 season, and two Vermont spots made the top 10: Mount Snow ranked No. 5 and Jay Peak ranked No. 6.
Mount Snow averaged 55,700 searches each month, and Jay Peak averaged 51,400 searches each month, according to the report. The most popular ski resort in the U.S. is Copper Mountain in Colorado, with an average of 97,700 searches a month.
“Known for its innovative amenities, it features the East Coast’s first high-speed six-pack lift and a spacious terrain park that’s a hit with freestyle enthusiasts,” wrote Holidu about Mount Snow, the top-ranked New England spot.
Holidu comprised the list after studying the average monthly global search volume on Google in the last 12 months for 50 ski resorts nationwide.
Jay Peak was named the best ski resort in Vermont by Boston.com readers, who also named its Green Mountain Flyer Quad, a.k.a. “The Freezer,” the coldest chairlift in the Northeast.

The Preservation Awards recognize outstanding contributions to the preservation and revitalization of Vermont’s historic buildings and community spaces. The Arlington Common was selected for its “exceptional impact on community gathering and historic stewardship.”
The success of The Arlington Common relies heavily on the dedication of local partners who brought the vision to life. Among the key honorees was Albert Construction, led by Nick Albert, whose exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to historic integrity were vital to the project’s completion.
“Preserving historic structures requires more than just standard construction; it demands a deep respect for original materials, architecture, and community legacy,” said Don Trachte, Head of the Buildings and Grounds Committee and Arlington Common Board Member. “Nick Albert and the team at Albert Construction went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored the past while engineering a space that will serve Arlington for generations to come.”

Champlain Valley senior Zoey McNabb has been named the Vermont high school girls track and field athlete for the 2026 season, Gatorade announced Thursday, June 25.
The Gatorade award recognizes athletes for their on-field success, high academic achievement and exemplary character.
In her first year as a competitive runner, the 5-foot-7 McNabb broke long-held state records in the 1500- and 3000-meter races this past spring with times of 4 minutes, 28.59 seconds and 9:24.58, respectively. At the Division I state meet, she swept both events to help the Redhawks claim a team championship three-peat.
Her 3,000 time ranked fourth nationally; her 1,500 performance was good for 12th. At the New England championship meet, McNabb took second in the 3,200 and third in the 1,600. She also ran in five events at New Balance Nationals, where she set the state record in the two mile.
An all-state basketball player for CVU, she has volunteered locally at the Green Mountain Montessori School in Essex in addition to donating her time as a youth basketball coach, according to the news release.
“Zoey was fearless this spring, attacking decades-old records and destroying them,” BFA-St. Albans coach Mike Mashtare said in a statement. “What made her special was how effortless she made it look with her smooth stride and relaxed running style.”
McNabb has maintained an unweighted 4.27 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship at the University of Vermont this fall.
As part of Gatorade’s commitment to breaking down barriers in sport, every player of the year also receives a grant to donate to a social impact partner.
