Vice President J.D. Vance is reportedly headed with his family to the Mad River Valley for a skiing trip this weekend.
The Secret Service and Vermont law enforcement officials are working today on a security plan for the new vice president while he is in the Green Mountain State.
The Valley Reporter, which first reported online the breaking story, says the Vance family is expected to stay at The Pitcher Inn on Main Street in Warren. The newspaper said the family plans to ski at the Sugarbush resort, which is about 3 miles away.
The inn’s website notes today that there are no rooms available for Friday and Saturday night. A room for Wednesday night is listed at $600 and for Thursday night at $1,403. After the two unavailable nights, room prices are listed at $810 on the inn’s website.
The former Ohio senator and his wife, Usha, have two sons and one daughter, ages 2 to 7.
The exact length of the stay in Washington County by the Vances was not immediately provided by officials.
Mike Pence, the vice president for President Donald Trump’s first term, made short 2 or 3-day vacation stops around Labor Day weekends in 2018, 2019 and 2020 at Lake Hortonia in Rutland County.
Both U.S. Senators at the time (Patrick J. Leahy and Bernie Sanders) sent statements welcoming Pence to Vermont.
