We are in the middle of a week of perfect sugaring weather. Cold nights & warm days make the sap run and it is great now and pedicted to stay this way for most of the upcoming week.
We have the New England Regional Conferece in Stowe starting Sunday until Tuesday. I could not have asked for better weather for the visitors. About 200 will enjoy a reception with Elisabeth Von Trapp starting the conference off with 45 minutes of great music.
Hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy Stowe is winter. If not consider visiting one of the most beautiful spots on earth this summer. When summer is high activities abound and we all enjoy Camp Stowe.

Spring is coming, Maple Syrup can not be far behind
Today is cold but predicted to be the last really cold night of the year. They are saying record lows tonight which means below -25.
Starting tomorrow morning we have a warming trend and Saturday night will be in the 20's with sundays temps in the 40's. This will likely start the sap run and the forecast through all of next week is similiar. That means boiling will start in the sugar houses and skiing will start towards spring skiing. That is an awesome combination and with the amount of snow we have the Stowe Sugar Slalom race, to be held April 7 & 8, will be one of the best in years as long as it is a sunny day.

Spring Skiing, Summer Plans & Maple Syrup
Skied 10 runs today, weather was great, about 27 degrees and overcast. The sun will be with us tomorrow and 35 degrees.
Talk in the air about maple sap run which all the farmers are getting ready for. They are in their sugar woods making sure the taps and lines did not get damaged during the storms last week. Give us about 3 days of 40 degree weather and it will start running. Could be within the next week but likely will be the middle to end of March.
If you have never visited a syrup making operation you should put it on your list of things to do. If you want suggestions of where to visit give me a shout out.
Its not to early to start to think about summer vacation in Stowe. If you want to rent for a month or two, which many people do, please plan ahead and give us a call or email.
