Though Vermont is known for its ski towns and winter destinations, you don't have to break the bank for a top-notch snowy vacation. Head to the town of Ludlow for one of the Northeast's top family-friendly ski destinations at Okemo Ski Resort. Although tourists flock to this ski resort come winter, Ludlow itself is a small enclave with a population of about 2,000 people. It's also one of the many towns you'll find while driving scenic Route 100, also known as Vermont's Skier's Highway. Nearby, you'll find more Vermont ski resorts like Magic Mountain in Londonderry and Killington Resort, both less than 30 minutes away from Ludlow by car.
