The Joy Ahead
January is filled with reflection and anticipation! We get to take a breath from the joyfully busy holiday season and settle into a winter wonderland of outdoor recreation and cozy fireside relaxation as we look ahead to the entire year before us. From snow sports to summer hikes, après ski to garden dinners, sugar season to fall foliage, every time of year brings a new reason to visit beautiful Woodstock, Vermont.

Keep it Snowy
Our resort-owned Saskadena Six ski area and Woodstock Nordic Center are open for the season! Despite the low amount of snowfall, both ski area teams have been manufacturing snow to keep conditions excellent on the alpine mountain and cross-country ski trails. Here are some of our favorite ways to experience the snowy season in Woodstock, Vermont:
- Take a lesson to find confidence on cross-country skis before exploring the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park.
- Bring the family to learn on the easy slopes with our incredible instructors while you shred the steeps at Saskadena Six.
- Stay for après ski with live music on Saturdays in the baselodge at Saskadena Six and don’t miss the legendary Fondue!
- Snowshoe through magical forests and up to scenic views on Mt. Peg or Mt. Tom.
