Sounds like alot depends on where in VT, my cousin lives near Burlington and has not reported the yupee/tree hugger attitude at all.
If you get near the ski areas you could run into it though (same here in NH)
I've heard mixed things about Burlington. I've heard it's the liberal gathering hub of VT, but I've also heard some of the nicest towns/land can be found near there. Really, in all honesty, I have no desire to leave PA. I love it here. It offers me endless trout streams/rivers for the summer, and great hunting in the fall/winter. Only time will tell where I end up.
