Local Adventures

Only 25 minutes from Northeast Kingdom Castle,  Jay Peak is consistently named the best skiing and snowboarding in New England.   Jay has the best snow in the best conditions — and because of the northern location it has the longest ski season by far, from Nov 15-May 15.

Jay Peak Resort named a Top 5 Best Ski Resort in America

Thanks to ‘delicate balance’ of warm and cold, Vermont ski resorts hitting snow sweet spot

It might look like a pretty crappy ski or ride season from the valleys of Vermont, but for resorts in the mountains the view is a lot better. That’s thanks mostly to sheer luck and Mother Nature balancing just enough weak warm fronts with colder, drying air being pulled down from Canada. The result: more snow than not across the mountains of Vermont.

A Weekend in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom

With a name like the Kingdom, it’s no surprise that 36 hours isn’t even close to enough time to do or see it all in this gorgeous corner of Vermont. This region is known for it’s unspoiled beauty, and the quiet, uncommercialized nature of this area is what I loved most about it. When you want a coffee or a quick bite, you’re not headed for Starbucks or McDonalds – you’re popping into the country store or bellying up to the counter at local diner.

How to make butter in Vermont

Amid the farm houses and barns dotting the Mad River Valley area of rural Vermont, five miles north of Sugarbush ski resort, Marisa Mauro is making butter.  About 700 pounds of it every week.

Jay Peak Waterpark

The Jay Peak Pump House indoor waterpark is a place for well-earned leisure. A place to experience the mountain when the mountain may have beaten you momentarily. But it’s also more than just a place to relax, it’s a chance to catch a different thrill on the slides, shoot hoops and climb rocks in the activity pool, and test your skill on the Flowrider. Non-water activities include the 1851′ Family Arcade, The Warming Shelter, the Wave Surf Shop and The Drink ensure every moment is saturated with satisfaction. It is the much deserved complement after a day of skiing, or vice-versa.
