Spring Takes the Stage
Once winter has dazzled us with a final encore, spring will dance into view. The snow and frigid ice will melt into thawing rivers, strong maple trees who weathered another season will soon have sap flowing once again, and the surrounding nature will enliven as the cold softens and dissolves. Warmer days reinvigorate our spirits and the native flora and fauna, telling them it is time to grow! Light green buds on trees, colorful crocuses, and the smell of maple syrup boiling on a wood-burning fire are signs that spring has taken the stage in Woodstock, Vermont.
Top Spring Things
Snow showers or sunny days that feel like summer, here are our favorite things to do in spring:
- Melt into The Spa with our seasonal Maple Forest Body Treatment. Featuring products with pure Vermont maple syrup to boost hydration and leave you glowing.
- Spring snow on the mountains! Glide across peaks that overlook the village at our Nordic Center, get a goggle tan skiing and riding the last of winter at our Suicide 6 Ski Area, or head to other nearby peaks for late-season fun.
- Take an extra sweet tour. Local sugar houses are in full production, tapping trees, boiling down the sap, stoking fires, and testing the final product: Vermont maple syrup!
- Taste the sweetness of the season in our signature dessert: The Vermont Maple Cake! Finish your dining experience with the gooey delight, or try your hand at baking it with Chef Phillipe's recipe.
Wrapped Up Winter
We've had snow much fun in the mountains this winter! From the top of Mt. Peg to the Mt. Tom star, we've nordic skied through historic forests, across snowy meadows, and down challenging trails. We fatbiked under a full moon and snowshoed to the peak for sunrise. At Suicide 6, we raced on alpine skis and flew downhill on snowboards in fresh powder and soft corduroy. We celebrated as first turns were made in the Snow Day Learning Area and cheered on the deck with tired legs after a full day!
Winter hasn't called it quits yet, and neither will we until all the snow is gone. Local mountains still have lifts spinning and covered slopes for late-season fun!
Sweet Springtime
Warm days and cold nights in March kick-off New England’s shortest and sweetest season: the maple sugaring season! All across the region, local farmers tap maple trees to produce the world-renowned Vermont maple syrup, each gallon of which requires nearly forty gallons of sap! Vermont has a higher minimum density requirement, ensuring our syrup is of the highest quality and best flavor, and new grades of syrup have a color and flavor descriptor to assist consumers. Yes, Vermont is serious about syrup.
It’s a sweet time of year to plan a getaway too! Our Packages celebrate Vermont adventures, relaxing escapes, and sweet deals on spring stays.
