Vermont is also known as the mecca for skiing and snowboarding in eastern North America. The very name of the state refers to mountains, it is home to numerous large ski resorts like Killington, Stowe, and Mount Snow that are typically ranked as some of the best in the East, winter sports are a central component of the economy in general and the tourism industry in particular, and the [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks Army Mountain Warfare School]] is located in Jericho. Jake Burton Carpenter, founder of the Burton Snowboards company and generally considered the inventor of the modern snowboard and the founding father of snowboarding culture, also got his start in the industry in Vermont. Of course, skiers and boarders from ''western'' North America would put a gigantic caveat on this and argue that even the best mountains on the "Ice Coast" are pale shadows of the smooth powder and epic terrain that the West has to offer. In turn, Vermonters, and East Coasters more broadly, have made a MemeticMutation out of a paraphrase of Bane's quote from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' about having been born and forged in darkness that swaps out "darkness" for "ice", as if to suggest that Westerners are softies who have no idea how to ski or ride on less-than-perfect terrain.

Vermont is also one of the most [[UsefulNotes/AmericanGunPolitics gun-friendly]] states in the Union, having ''zero laws'' at the state level. The only gun laws are federal.

One place where Vermont bucks the tradition of other liberal-leaning states, however, is that it is also one of the most [[UsefulNotes/AmericanGunPolitics gun-friendly]] states in the Union, having ''zero laws'' at the state level. The only gun laws are federal.
