White River Junction to Slope Space
A scenic 50-minute drive through Woodstock on I-89 and Route 4

Why Drive 50 Minutes to Slope Space?
The Upper Valley has character. Here's what the mountain adds.
Ski at Lunch
Killington's lifts are 5 minutes from our door. Take a few runs at lunch, soak in the hot tub after, and finish your workday refreshed. From WRJ, that same ski break would be a two-hour round trip.
Gigabit Fiber
VTel's 1 Gbps business fiber — tested at 730 Mbps down, 820 Mbps up. Your video calls don't buffer. Large file uploads finish in seconds. This is enterprise-grade internet in the mountains.
Resort Amenities
Your membership includes gym, indoor heated pool, hot tub, outdoor pool, locker rooms, and laundry. No extra fees. That's a gym membership, pool pass, and coworking space in one.
The Upper Valley Remote Work Scene
A growing remote work community — but missing one key piece
The Upper Valley — White River Junction, Hanover, Lebanon — has a thriving and growing remote work community. Dartmouth's influence brings tech talent, researchers, and creative professionals. The arts scene in WRJ attracts freelancers, designers, and writers. It's one of Vermont's most connected and educated regions.
What the Upper Valley Has
- Vibrant arts and creative community in WRJ
- Dartmouth College resources and networking
- Coffee shops and cafés for casual work
- Growing tech and startup presence
What's Missing
- Dedicated coworking with gigabit fiber internet
- Full gym, pool, and hot tub included with workspace
- 24/7 keycard access (not just café hours)
- Mountain lifestyle — ski, bike, and hike at your doorstep
The bottom line: The Upper Valley is a fantastic place to live and work remotely. But when you need a dedicated workspace with real infrastructure and resort-level amenities, Slope Space is 50 minutes west — and it changes the game.
Why WRJ Is a Great Home Base
Live in the Upper Valley, work at the mountain
Arts & Culture
WRJ is Vermont's arts capital. The Center for Cartoon Studies, Northern Stage theater, galleries along Bridge Street, and regular art walks make it one of the most creative small towns in New England. The artistic energy is real — and it's a great place to live as a creative professional.
Dartmouth Proximity
Hanover is just across the river. Access Dartmouth's Baker-Berry Library, attend lectures and cultural events, and tap into one of the Ivy League's most active communities. Many remote workers in the Upper Valley are connected to the Dartmouth ecosystem.
Dining & Downtown
WRJ's revitalized downtown punches above its weight. Tuckerbox for coffee, Big Fatty's BBQ for lunch, and a growing roster of restaurants and bars. The town has transformed from a quiet railroad junction into a walkable, livable creative hub.
Transit & Access
WRJ sits at the junction of I-89 and I-91, making it one of Vermont's most connected towns. Amtrak's Vermonter stops right downtown, connecting to NYC and DC. It's a genuine transit hub — rare for rural Vermont.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Upper Valley remote workers
Is the 50-minute drive from WRJ manageable?
Most Upper Valley members don't come every day — 1 to 3 days a week is the sweet spot. The drive through Woodstock on Route 4 is one of the most scenic commutes in Vermont. Many members say it's the best part of their morning. And you're driving against traffic in both directions.
Is it worth working near Dartmouth but commuting to Killington?
Absolutely. You get the best of both worlds — the intellectual and cultural community of the Upper Valley at home, and a dedicated mountain workspace with real infrastructure when you need deep focus. Many Dartmouth-connected professionals use Slope Space for their "heads down" days.
Is there coworking in White River Junction?
WRJ has coffee shops and some shared creative spaces, but no dedicated coworking facility with gigabit fiber, 24/7 access, gym, pool, and hot tub. That's what makes Slope Space unique — it's a full-service workspace with resort amenities that doesn't exist in the Upper Valley.
Can I stop in Woodstock on the way?
Woodstock is right on your route, about 25 minutes from Slope Space. Many members stop for coffee or lunch at one of Woodstock's great spots. It's one of the perks of the Route 4 commute — you pass through one of Vermont's most charming villages.
Do I need a ski pass to use Slope Space?
Not at all. Slope Space is a coworking space first. Plenty of members never ski — they're here for the internet, the gym, the pool, and the mountain vibe. Skiing is a bonus, not a requirement.
What about summer? Is it worth the drive when there's no skiing?
Killington is a four-season destination. Summer brings mountain biking at the Killington Bike Park, hiking, golf, and the outdoor pool. The workspace, gym, and fiber internet are the same year-round. Many members say summer is actually their favorite time — fewer crowds, beautiful weather, and you can trail run at lunch.
