Two Vermont ski resorts are ideal places to ski and snowboard during the holiday season, according to The New York Times.

Killington and Sugarbush ski resorts are excellent places to ski and snowboard around the holidays because of their extensive snow-making capabilities, the publication wrote in a recent article about when and where to go skiing.

There's more good news for Vermont-bound skiers and snowboarders, according to the Times. The following three resorts are "good bets throughout the season" due to their natural snowfall: Jay Peak, Stowe, and Smugglers' Notch.

For springtime skiing, the Times recommends Sugarloaf and Sunday River, both in Maine, as well as Pico Mountain in Vermont, due to factors such as elevation, latitude, and the direction of the slopes. Higher altitudes, according to the publication, mean less rain and colder temperatures that preserve the snow.

"The best mountains for spring skiing have good amounts of north-facing terrain, which keeps snow shaded and cold," the Times wrote.

A New England city ranks among the 10 most romantic holiday destinations - Boston.com

Posted: 03 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST

Move over, Valentine's Day. December is full of romantic opportunities at "Christmas towns" across the nation, including one in Rhode Island, according to Fodor's.

Newport, R.I., ranked No. 9 on the publication's list of 10 "most romantic U.S. destinations to spend the holiday season," which posted on Monday. The No. 1 city for romance in December is New York City, which Fodor's called "as iconic and romantic as they come."

Here's what Fodor's had to say about visiting Newport this month:

Add a dash of Gilded Age romance to your holiday in the harbor town of Newport. The Newport Mansions — built by the rich-and-famous at the turn-of-the-20th-century — offer  Holiday Evenings at the Newport Mansions, including live music, refreshments, and the chance to stroll exquisitely decorated, softly lit rooms. Here, too, you can attend the Governor's Ball, take a Holiday Lantern Tour of Newport's old town, and stroll among twinkling lights along the harbor's Victorian-age avenues. There's no shortage of cozy eateries to share a table for two — try White Horse Tavern, America's oldest tavern (1673), super comfy with a roaring fire, low beamed ceilings, and delish seasonal dishes on the menu. Then unwind in your très chic room and seductive ocean views at The Chanler at Cliff Walk, perfect for a romantic tryst.

Check out the entire list of romantic cities during the holidays.
