I have skied in Vermont, don't do that, it's just white ice, any fall can be dangerous.
It isn’t bad at all, but it will never compete with the Rockies.
Yep. I learned to snowboard on the east coast and when I came out west, I was amazed at how much "better" I was overnight. I really am better now, but it doesn't hurt to have good snow.
All of the good skiing in the rockies is in areas where it can easily go weeks without it getting above freezing.
