What's your why to moving here besides being close to the mountain you work/ski at?
There are a dozen obstacles, housing, low wages, lack of access to certain stores or other amenities that you otherwise might be accustomed to in less rural areas.
You can expect whatever occupation you chose to generally pay less than elsewhere unless you are doing remote for an out of state company. Housing is a bitch, i make over 100k and even i am having a hard time making a winning bid on a house. Rentals are slim and over priced due to demand.
A lot of stores close much earlier than you would expect (in some cases 5pm which seems absurd given that doesn't give normal 9-5 employees a chance to get what they need after work)
Other services are also more expensive due to high demand and lack of availability.
Vermonters are generally kind and accepting but in return we all kind of actively contribute to the community in one way or another. Support local stores, volunteer, donate, or whatever. Its kind of an unwritten agreement because we know without those things Vermont would just be like any other place out of state.
So if those things are cool with you, go for it. If not, look elsewhere.
