Travel with a Local: Ludlow, Vermont
A dreamy ski town
Why should we visit your town/city?
My husband and I have been lucky enough to reside in the lower apartment of his family’s little ski home in Ludlow, Vermont for the first few months of our newlywed life. Before we were engaged, my husband (who was a ski racer in high school) taught me the basics of skiing, and since we’ve been up here we’ve skied almost every weekend since!
The town of Ludlow and its incorporated village is a charming, historical locale nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Drawing thousands of skiers and snowboarders to its main mountain, Okemo (which, depending on which Native American language you consult, means “All Come Home,” “Chieftain,” or “louse”). Each winter, and especially during the peak months of January and February, you can be sure of breathtaking mountain views and a substantial, persistent blanket of snow.

MADISON, Wis. The Madison Fire Department’s Lake Rescue Team rescued a dog Monday evening after it fell through the ice into Lake Monona.
Fire officials said the dog’s owner fell through the ice while trying to rescue the dog, but she was able to get back onto the ice before the Lake Rescue team arrived. The dog and woman fell through the ice near the area where the Yahara River and Lake Monona meet.
By the time rescue crews arrived, the woman was able to get back onto the ice, but the dog was still stranded. The first crew at the scene tried saving the dog with standard ice rescue equipment, but their efforts were delayed due to the fragility of the ice.
