Tourists come to vermont generally from less snowy areas.

Server in a tourist town here: can confirm. I have tables from Florida and other places with rental cars who are clearly freaked out about the road conditions. I give them my best advice, but i usually don’t have enough time to ask them specifics about their rental car. If I don’t have time for a step by step (I usually don’t) immediate advice for them in snowy conditions is DO NOT SLAM ON THE BRAKES! But yeah. Many people who come here aren’t used to the snow. I’m happy to give advice when I can because I don’t want anyone freaking out on the road.

Most of the out of staters driving in VT this time of year are going to be from other New England states or NY

What? The bulk of NE/New York is completely comparable to VT when it comes to snow, if not worse

Most of the people who live up in the Adirondack’s are not driving to vermont to ski.

The vast majority of ski tourists come from MA, CT, NJ, downstate, etc.

This really isn’t true. Read my comment above… there are many people from Southern states and overseas that come here too.
