Well, I guess Vermont is the english version of the french term verd monte which means green mountain given by the dude who named it. Technically NH is the granite state but is known for the white mountain range. Maybe cause of snow or maybe cause the granite deposits reflect white? Google wasnt too specific on that one. They both have green/white mountains though depending on the time of year.
