Age breakdown for VT towns… start with

https://onthemap.ces.census.gov/

You may find the census tracts don’t match town boundaries or the margin of error on some estimates is more than the population in question. Common problem for small rural communities.

It’s a start. Also, your regional planning commission probably already has all the age/gender/etc. demographic breakdowns for communities.

Aint broke dont fix it?

Apologies for appearing toxic. I read your post and the 'three years' skiing stuck with me. I was concerned for your safety.

Background: grew up skiing, became a ski instructor in my teens. Grew up skiing in the east and skied out west a number of times. Personally jealous you can get out and ski where you have. (Check out skiing in NZ when you can)

I spent my younger years stupidly racing through trees - younger body, more resilient, more bangs, fewer injuries. I can't imagine doing what I did as a kid in my thirties. I was able to work on my form and the art of skiing as an instructor (not in the trees) with high-grade pros teaching technical sessions.

For trees: there is no rhythm in turning like there is in the open except for a few glorious turns once in a while; beware of branches (one caught me in the face because it was pointing at me and I could not see it - it thankfully did not go through my eye); know the snow cover and how deep the snow is; know the terrain; know the conditions (powder vs hard pack); be ready to avoid anything at any time - be light on your skis; know how to get yourself out of a tree well; know when not to go into the trees.

For cliffs: know the landing; know the snow; know how to land in deep power (lean back and use your butt to absorb the momentum); how to land on hard pack (don't do the above).

This comes from years of experience and (thankfully) no broken bones or being stranded on a mountain overnight. When in doubt - don't do it!! I doubt lessons from someone could properly convey this... best bet, buddy-up with some ski bums and learn from them.

Again, this is no fucking joke.

That was instruction. Skiing in tree and off cliffs is no fucking joke.
