Heading to Vermont this week! I can’t believe I scored this great holiday week on Interval! It was definitely worth trading my 1br MGC week. We are staying in a guest house. I realize already that I should have made dinner reservations in advance but I’m on a waiting list. Also I need to buy lift tickets bc apparently they are cheaper in advance. Any other advice? Any restaurants nearby since we can’t get the on site restaurant for dinner? I’m going with hubs, my kids 17 and 19 and DD’s boyfriend 19.
Very excited!

The brewery they have on site is nice and easier to get into than the restaurant. We were there last March. Jay Peak and Bolton Valley are good paces to ski nearby that are probably more affordable than Stowe. (I visited them on the Indy pass.)

I second this! We have picky eaters so our "offsite" adventures were limited to places with pizza, chicken nuggets and hotdogs. I assume you're looking for something a little nicer than that...I know I sure was! lol.

Lots of good restaurants in Stowe. Picasso, The Whip, Harrison’s, Idyletime, ……

If your inclined to drive the long way around the notch (since it’s closed for the winter) in Jeffersonville there’s Family Table and Martells.

A lot of locals prefer to ski at Smugglers Notch. Less expensive. Slow lifts but more space on the mountain supposedly. I don’t ski so I can’t speak for this myself.

This is all great info! I think alternative skiing places are probably a good idea since the kids are novice skiers.

Keep the info coming !
