Comcast (broadband, but can be fast) has a stranglehold in Claremont, and the area.

Fidium (symmetrical fiber) is only available in a few small towns that Comcast doesn't already monopolize.

That being said, I would just get internet, and a good VPN. You'll be able to stream any game or event for free once you get the hang of finding them.

Not super heavy snow, but sticky and lots of it. Okemo is low-key great as I type this on the lift.

No lines, lots of powder. My legs are on fire.

The roads were straight shit, lots of limbs down, and some roads closed.

It's a rural area, overall, with Lebanon, Hanover, Harford (aka White River Junction), and Norwich making up a connected patchwork of big towns/small "city".

Housing will be expensive and take more planning than you would think to lock a place down.

There are a bunch of restaurants to check out in a 5-30 minute radius of DHMC.

Lebanon, Hanover, and Hartford have small walkable areas that are nice.

You'll be in luck if you're an outdoorsy person; there's lots of skiing relatively close, tons of hiking trails, plenty of places to drop in your kayak/canoe, and a couple rail trail sections to ride your bike in to avoid cars.

It's a pretty area, but your challenges will be finding a place to live, and meeting folks outside of work.
