Topnotch Resort & Spa If you want to be pampered, look no further than the Topnotch Resort and Spa, which provides the highest level of service on 120 wooded acres just two miles from Mount Mansfield. First-class accommodations are joined with a world-class spa, restaurants, retail shops that offer Vermont handcrafts and sports gear, and common areas where freshly baked cookies and tea are served every afternoon. The resort is convenient to the Stowe ski area and downtown Stowe, where you can search for antiques and souvenirs or explore the history of winter sports at the Vermont Ski Museum. Eden Mountain Lodge For an unforgettable experience, book an excursion at Eden Mountain Lodge in Eden Mills, just 25 miles north of Stowe. First you’ll learn about how these furry athletes are bred, how they live, and how they work together. Then an experienced musher and team of Alaskan Huskies will transport you in a padded and enclosed sled on 10 miles of private woodland trails. Or try your hand at steering a sled driven by a three- or four-dog team. After your trip, you can stay on to cross-country ski or snowshoe on the property. Off the slopes Before leaving Vermont, explore the Ben & Jerry’s Factory tour in Waterbury for an alternative cool adventure. Umiak Outdoor Outfitters offers half-hour-long guided snowshoe tours of the company’s property on winter weekends, followed by a traditional factory tour and sampling. No matter the ski conditions, you’ll find a Vermonty Python or Cherry Garcia dead ahead.
