Vermont- where should beginners go?

I have an opportunity to visit Vermont this coming February for a week of XC
skiing. Any suggestions on where to go for groomed and tracked skiing
geared towards beginners or intermediate skiers, and where instructions are
available on site?

Thanks.

The first two places that come to mind a

Craftsbury Outdoor Center, Craftsbury, http://www.craftsbury.com/ski

and

Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe, http://www.trappfamilylodge.com/

You can't go wrong with either of these. They are both excellent, although they
are somewhat different from each other. Craftsbury is more rustic. Trapp's is
bound to be a bit more crowded, but their staff is first-rate. And Stowe is a
lot more built-up than the rural town of Craftsbury (which can be good or bad,
depending on what you are looking for).

Further south in Vermont, some other good possibilities are (north to south):

Blueberry Hill, Goshen, http://www.blueberryhillinn.com/ski.htm

Woodstock Ski Touring Center, Woodstock,

Viking Nordic Center, Londonderry, http://www.vikingnordic.com/viking_winter.htm

Prospect Mountain, Woodford, http://www.prospectmountain.com/Final/Info.html
