Spring Skiing

Spring Skiing has Never Been Better!!!

About 2 weeks ago we received 55 inches of snow in 3 days! It was unbelievable! In 16 years of being an Innkeeper in Vt we have scene some snow storms, but never that much in such a short time! Of course this is great for the skiers and riders out there. I have always told my guests, March is the BEST skiing there is! Longer days, warmer days, and now we have so much snow that the mountain has been 100% open every day! Can't make it this weekend? Think about taking a day off next Wednesday, and come ski or ride for only $17! That is right, celebrate St Patrick's day here at Mt Snow and the lift tickets are only $17! Couple that with a room here for only $92 and you have a great getaway, lots of fun, and only a little dough!

We will be skiing and riding well into April, so always check out our last minute specials for the upcoming weekends! I know this is the time of year that I ski, I can tell you first hand, just how amazing it is out there! Don't let this spring skiing season pass you by! Check out our web site, or give us a call. See you on the slopes!

WOW! That is all I can say! The total of this storm right now is 29 inches! It is beautiful snow, perfect for grooming to corduroy! We are expecting another 5-8 inches tomorrow and more on Friday. The snow will be over just in time for the weekend. Mount Snow is 100% open with some ungroomed trails, with more powder than usually scene inthe East! You can not miss this. With longer days and warmer temps, this is THE BEST skiing yet! Check out our web site for March specials.

Let it Snow!!!!

Let it Snow!!!!

We are receiving almost a foot of fresh snow today! There is great skiing! We have almost 100% of Mount Snow open, and the days are longer! I have always told our guests that late February and March are the BEST skiing months! With fresh beautiful snow, now is the time to book your March Madness Midweek Getaway! Remember, we need some time for ski and stay package deals, so don't wait until the last minute!

Local Products and Sustainability

There is a lot of talk these days about using local products for quality, freshness and sustainability. Mike and I have been practicing this concept since we purchased the inn 15 years ago, however now there is more restaurants using this for promotion.

It is pretty simple, try to purchase within the local economy and seasonally. This offers a cycle of sustainable economy, and product. For example, if you purchase fresh tomatoes in August from a local farm, they are of better quality and freshness. Doing this also ensures the money stays within the local economy, and you are purchasing a product in season.

We have always use local purveyors for our fish, produce, even dairy. For example, we use a Vermont company for our bacon and sausage for breakfast. We often change our menu to reflect produce and fish that are in season. If available, we try to use organic as well. In the summer months, my mother has a large garden and grows organically maintained produce. She lives only a few miles away, so I can go there and pick daily to use for the restaurant. The bounty ranges from fresh green beans and zucchini blossoms for stuffing, to beautiful heirloom tomatoes!

So, if you dine with us in the summer, then come back in the winter and wonder where that dish was you had in the summer, now you know! Supporting local is a great way to enjoy great product, personalized service, and warm friendships. I highly recommend trying to hit a "farmer's market" in your area this year, you never know what you might find. You may even find you become "addicted" to the possibilities!

Buy local, eat fresh!

We would like to say Thank you to NBC and Alli sports for bringing the Mountain Dew Tour to our Valley. It is really nice to have such an event bring attention to Mount Snow. Although we are booked for rooms this weekend, we are still open for dinner and have space available, so if you here for the action and want a nice dinner, give us a call!

Let It Snow!!

We are expecting 7-12 inches of the fresh white stuff tonight! Check out our Ski and Stay packages starting at $95 per person! This is the week, moderate temps, fresh snow! Come and check us out!

Great Skiing This Weekend!

Well, the cold snap is just about over. The forcast is for partly sunny and in the 20's all weekend long! What a better time to come and hit the slopes, especially with a long weekend upon us.

Here at the Doveberry Inn we have just a couple of rooms left for the weekend, so hurry so you don't miss out! Mount Snow is 100% open and the snow is fantastic! It has stayed cold since mid December. The fan guns have been making snow non stop and it is showing!

Call today to book your room. Great Snow, Great rooms, Great Food, what more could you ask for!
