hello, I live in Vermont. I'm in the New England region of the U.S.
Oh, that sounds so nice!  I don't know much about Vermont except that you can do some good skiing there. 
Yes there is skiing and you've also got the lake that forms half of Vermont's western border with New York. Lake Champion. Love to fish there. 
I absolutely love water.  It must be gorgeous up there.  What states are it near?
It borders Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New york. also Quebec to the north.
I didn't realize it was that close to Canada. I really would love to take advantage of some snow sports on a vacation there. Any favorite spots for that?
I would say you might find luck in the Green mountains which run north-south the length of the state.
Sounds wonderful! I would settle into a chalet and drink some hot cocoa. What kind of unique foods are around that area?
We make alot of cheese here so always have a cutting board with meats to go with our cheese. We include some delirious maple syrup with some things. We are the largest producer of that.
