Hi Lien,I thought I will look at Vermont first since Vermont has bigger (maybe better) mountains for winter sports.

If you have a good place, offer great amenities and service, you'll make bank May-August and have average months Oct-March IF you have winter sports near by.

Otherwise I would have had to pay CA taxes on any profit.So, even though TN does not have state taxes, except for limited taxes on things like stocks/bonds/private interest, if I would have made a profit in CA it would have been taxed by CA as CA taxes income when it is sourced from CA.And CA is aggressive and even go after professional sports people for the % of their salary based on the games/tournaments played in CA.Are there other states that tax non-residents for source income/profit?
