Pomfret: Saskadena Six
Saskadena Six sits on the slopes of Mount Tom in Pomfret, Vermont, where wooded hills rise above the Ottauquechee River valley. This compact ski area was known for decades as Suicide Six before taking its present name in 2022. It belongs to the wider Woodstock area, associated with Wallace Bunny Bertram's 1934 installation of the first ski rope tow in the United States, an important step in making downhill skiing a popular American pastime. Set in rural central Vermont near Woodstock and the Green Mountains, Saskadena Six has retained the scale and character of an early local ski hill rather than becoming a vast resort complex.

Pomfret lies in the Ottauquechee River valley, where wooded Green Mountain foothills surround pastures, small farms, and dispersed hamlets in eastern Vermont. The town includes North Pomfret and South Pomfret, linked by rural roads in the countryside near Woodstock and the Upper Valley. Saskadena Six, the local ski area, opened in 1936 under its former name, Suicide Six, and remains part of Vermont’s long-established downhill-skiing tradition. Away from the slopes, Pomfret is defined by agricultural land, forest, and a notably low-density settlement pattern rather than a conventional town centre.

Vermont is best known in the United States for the Green Mountains, the north–south range that gives the state its defining wooded backbone. These coordinates lie in north-central Vermont, where rolling uplands and narrow valleys lead toward the Lamoille River. Mount Mansfield, rising to 4,393 feet (1,339 metres), is the state’s highest peak and stands farther west in the same mountain region. Lake Champlain forms much of Vermont’s western edge, while the Connecticut River traces its border with New Hampshire. Maple sugaring is a defining seasonal tradition, and Vermont is the nation’s leading maple-syrup producer. Explore nearby places to better understand how north-central Vermont relates to the Green Mountains, river valleys and Lake Champlain.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
