    Why Not Spend Spring Skiing in Vermont?

    March 12, 2020 / No Comments

    For years, I have made no secret of my love for winter and summer too. Spring and fall were distant cousins at best. A couple of years ago though, I started to wonder what if we simply stretched winter out a little longer right into spring. Spring skiing! We are guests of Smugglers’ Notch while visiting which means we receive accommodations and lift tickets as well as activities. Spring Break Oh I know, spring break is often synonymous with heading south and we are technically heading south. Just not to the sunny south where the weather is warm. This year, we are on our way to Smugglers’ Notch to do…

    Reasons to Stay at a Ski In Ski Out Lodge

    September 30, 2019 /

    No big surprise for many of you that we love to ski. We have done at least one epic ski trip every single year since learning how to ski at Tremblant in 2015. We have stayed: on the mountain, at the resort, right at the base of the lodge, ten minutes away, half an hour away, in condos and most recently in a ski in ski out lodge. So, we have formed some opinions of the benefits and even the slight inconveniences associated with each type of family ski trip accommodations. Ski in ski out lodges are our new favourite way to stay and ski. In fact, after doing two…

    Celebrate 60 Joyful Years at Sugarbush Ski Resort Vermont

    April 22, 2019 /

    Update – in November 2019, Sugarbush Ski Resort Vermont announced they’d been sold to Alterra. Win Smith told me in an email: “Alterra is focused on sustainability at all their destinations both in terms of doing responsible things but also in advocating for initiatives to deal with the growing climate crisis.  Sugarbush has been doing this already and will have a greater voice as part of Alterra.” Alterra Buys Sugarbush Ski Resort The sale is expected to go through January 7, 2020. Staff will retain their jobs, the reaction to the announcement has been positive and current staff will all remain at Sugarbush. “The brand is not changing.” “The right…

    Vermont Family Resorts – All The Pretty Things At Okemo Mountain Ski Resort

    April 2, 2019 /

    With bountiful pristine snow-covered deciduous trees, sprawling Green Mountain views, long, wide, memorable alpine trails and a tiny, quirky, local downtown area, Okemo in Ludlow, Vermont rewards visitors for braving the cold and embracing an outdoor lifestyle. A few weeks ago we set off on an epic family road trip. First stop was Okemo Mountain Ski Resort, in South-Central Vermont, where we stayed at Jackson Gore Inn. Vermont is always a spectacular choice for families, hardcore skiers and snowboarders. There are so many great Vermont family resorts that elevate winter to an art form, but Okemo easily stands its ground. With style and substance, Okemo it is so pretty you’ll…

    Where to Stay Near Bromley Mountain

    April 10, 2018 /

    Wondering where to stay near Bromley Mountain this season or next? Earlier this year I started hunting around for places to visit in Vermont during ski season. Eventually we found Bromley Mountain ski resort. But what you need to know about Vermont is that every single ski resort is unique. Some have built in accommodations on site. Others have accommodations nearby. And some have a mix. So what’s the story with Bromley Mountain? Well I am here to tell you everything I found out when we researched and then stayed at Bromley recently. If you plan a stay this season or next then you need to know everything you can…
