Two New Après-ski Options at Stratton and Your Chance to Win Tickets to WinterWonderGrass

Photo Credit: Stratton Mountain I have always loved the après-ski scene at Stratton Mountain. Don't get me wrong, no matter what mountain I am at, I'll find a good time. It doesn't take much, just good friends at a bar with beers and nachos and I am a happy man. But, with the village located right at the base, and everything in walking distance, Stratton offers a little something for everyone. Whether it is enjoying beers on the deck at Grizzly's with a view of the mountain (by the way their nachos are insanely good), grabbing a Gansett Tall boy...

Vermont Open: A Celebration of Snowboarding and Music

Having had the pleasure of attending the Vermont Open last year, I can speak from experience that it is more than just a snowboard event, it's a weekend long celebration of the sport and a music festival on top of that. There is so much to take in including the snowboarding contests, concerts and fundraising benefits. Rest is not an option but, who needs that when you will be having such an amazing time?!

The Green Door Pub: Elevated Après for a Cause

I can remember visiting Stratton Mountain a several years back for the first time in a while and finally when I was at legal drinking age.

Not a bad way to make it as a ski bum, I suppose, but probably not the pest tactic for long term success in a relationship. Nonetheless, he kept bringing up The Green Door Pub. Not getting too deep into what the place...

Honeypie: The Perfect Après Ski Location for Families

There I was this past summer, standing at Meuleman's Craft Draught looking back across the street at a new restaurant with the name Honeypie. It had been a while so, the last I remembered, that location that I was staring at was a gas station. The perfect spot for me to fill up my tank while I filled up my growlers at the same time. However, that gas station was long gone, and this shiny new restaurant sat there in its place with the smell of tasty food wafting through the air. I knew based on the enticing smell of cooked sausages, I just had to give...
