Latest Unbiased Reports on Alpine Zone
2009-03-06 22:23:00
Image (c) Alpine Zone Most of the Vermont ski areas I follow give fairly honest reports on their conditions but they are sent out at the beginning of each day. Much can happen after that and I have found myself more and more taking a look at what is said on Alpine Zone. These Trip Reports are usually at the end of the day but sometimes you will see mid-day reports. They often contain useful details on which trails the person skied and what they found there. Many of the reports are from people who are frequent skiers or riders (many are local Vermonters) who know which trails to choose and what to expect. For example, here is what one skier reported just a few hours ago on his experience today at Stowe which started off looking bad but ended up being great. I especially like the Twitter Reports so I can stay up to date and tell callers who ask about current conditions. It's great to be able to give them a report that is very current.

Vermont Summer Camps for Young People
2009-02-22 03:33:00
Tennis Magazine chose Windridge as one of the top ten tennis camps in the US. Vermont has a very long tradition of summer camps for children and young adults. Some camps, such as Sangamon, have been in operation since the early part of the last century. There are traditional camps, farm camps, sports camps, all boys and all girls camps, adventure camps, arts camps, wilderness camps, education camps, fitness camps . . . something for everyone. A good place to start looking is the Vermont Camping Association website. It lists private, agency-based and religious-affiliated camps. Many are resident camps but there are also day camps which appeal to families who are on vacation in Vermont. The adults can go play while the kids enjoy camp during the day. Many of the camps listed on the VCA website are also members of the American Camp Association and are accredited by that association. Another camp directory is the American Summer Camps directory which also has a good overview of camp...

Using Google Maps to Find GPS Coordinates
2009-02-18 06:19:00
This evening I stumbled across how to use Google Maps to determine GPS coordinates. I did it by doing something I had never done in years of clicking the Link button on a Google Map - I actually read the link. Usually I'm busy getting the link to put into an entry in the blog. I never read the jumble of letters for heaven's sake! I'm right in the middle of trying to get something done dammit. But this time I stopped long enough to look at it - which comes dangerously close to proof reading. As I did, it dawned on me that some numbers in the middle of the link looked similar to GPS coordinates. Could it be? After a minute or two of copy and paste activity, I had my Duh-Oh! moment. They ARE coordinates! Who knew?Well actually, I bet a lot people know. It's probably another example of the rest of world way out in front of me and I'm back here in the mountains of Vermont sucking wind. So, for my fellow in-the-weeds, off-the-grid woodchucks, I proudly present how to find GPS coordin...

Historic Vermont Ski Jump Reopens
2009-02-12 02:30:00
Photo from Harris Hill Ski Jump Almost every year for the past 85 years, ski jumpers from around the world have converged on the village of Brattleboro Vermont to take part in the "original extreme sport."They will do so again this year on February 14 and 15 but the difference will be that the Harris Hill jump has been completely rebuilt. It's literally brand new and with luck it will last another 85 years. After the town got together and raised about half a million dollars, demolition and rebuilding continued through the last year. It was either that or lose what those in the ski jumping world consider an iconic structure in the sport. There are no others in New England and only six others in the USA of its size. Harris Hill was built by a visionary named Fred Harris who devoted a large portion of his life to building and maintaining the jump. The jump is just one mile from Exit 2 on I-91. Driving directions are on the website.(c) 2009 Jeff Connor Grunberg Haus Inn

Forbes Says One of the Best Winter Drives Goes Past My Driveway
2009-01-22 03:31:00
Forbes.com has an article called America's Best Snowy Drives with an accompanying slide show listing the top ten winter drives in the US. Of note to us is that one is in Vermont, one is in nearby upstate New York, and they missed a great one in New Hampshire. The Vermont drive is Route 100 from Stowe to Rochester. This is a 48 mile section of Route 100 that I am familiar with because my inn is on that road in Waterbury. You will find the entire drive enjoyable but the best part will be between Warren and Rochester where you are driving in the Green Mountain National Forest. I wrote a travel review of Route 100 on Milebymile.com that includes this section. It will have more details on what you can expect to find. A nearby drive in upstate New York is within an easy drive of Vermont. This Lake George Loop starts and ends in Glens Falls NY at the southern end of Lake George.One of my favorite drives in the country is in nearby New Hampshire.

Ice Climbing Lessons

Stowe VT's von Trapps and the Sound of Music
2009-01-18 03:41:00
Johannes von Trapp is handing over management of the famous Stowe VT lodge to his son Sam. Fortunately, finding Vermont travel topics is easy. Unfortunately, there are so many of them that I can't get to them all. I have a stack of Vermont information so large, I think I could write several hours a day and never exhaust the ever-growing list. As a result, items linger and I have to weed them out as they become less timely. This blog entry is about just one of those items. A few weeks ago on Christmas eve, the New York Times ran an article about the real von Trapp family of Stowe. Nearly everyone in this country has heard of them and probably seen the movie. And judging by the number of guests at our inn, many people are big fans of the movie even though it is now about 40 years old. But, as the article explains, there is quite a difference between the fictional family of the movie and the real von Trapps. The story is based on real people and real events but it takes quite a few ...

Nordic skating at Lake Morey VT Nordic skating is a very old style of Scandinavian outdoor ice skating that many people find is an easy way to learn. In fact, classes are taught here in Vermont at Lake Morey in the east central part of the state near the border with New Hampshire. The classes go over selecting the right equipment for each individual, safety, types of ice surfaces, how to use a Nordic skating pole to test the strength of the ice, efficient skating technique, etc. Registration can be done online or by calling (802) 649-3939.There is a fee of $25 for three hours of instruction, plus equipment rentals. The website says that Nordic skates are "remarkably simple to learn on" and that Nordic skating poles make the skating easier for people without good balance.The workshops will be taught January 17 and 18; January 24 and 25; and January 31 and February 1 at Lake Morey. On February 7 there will be an afternoon workshop on City Bay, Lake Champlain. The longer blade on ...

Waterbury Area Restaurants Reviewed in NY Times

Big Time NY Times Wanders Into the Backwoods To See What the Woodchucks Are Eating These DaysMark Bittman, a writer for the Dining section of the NY Times Dining, must spend a good amount of time around the Waterbury VT area - he certainly knows the restaurants here, a couple of them off the beaten path for most visitors and even some locals. As his December 28, 2008 review shows, he is very impressed with Hen of the Wood restaurant, a very fine restaurant that was opened by a pair of chefs here in Waterbury about four years ago if memory serves. One of the chef's mother stayed with us while the two young men were working to get their new place prepared for opening so we got an early insight into what kind of place they were aiming to establish in a highly competitive market. As you can see by the newspaper's headline reference to "Backwoods" Vermont, many people come here expecting to be nearly on the edge of civilization, lucky to have a decent diner and maybe a couple of good ...

A Brew Pub That Serves Tea - How Vermont!
2009-01-11 03:05:00
I was poking around some of my links a while back and discovered on the Alchemist Brew Pub blog that they are now serving tea. Specifically, it's Kombucha tea, a sweet tea that originated in China centuries ago and is alleged to have some medicinal qualities. According to the Alchemist blog, Kombucha is "fermented black tea that is loaded with antioxidants, amino acids and many different pro-biotic cultures." Whether or not that is good for you is up to you to decide. The Alchemist Brew Pub opened about five years ago and was an immediate hit. We have had guests from all over the country tell us that a friend or relative recommended it to them as a "must see." It is easy to find in downtown Waterbury VT. That link will take you to a Google map page that has another link to 20 views of the Alchemist. They have very good food there by the way. They actually have a chef who prepares a short but wonderful menu. The portions are small but so are the prices - about $10 for an entree...

Winter Dew Tour on NBC Sports and USA Network. I think.
2009-01-10 03:25:00
If you can't make it to Vermont this weekend to see the amazing Winter Dew Tour (see my blog entry from yesterday) at Mount Snow, you can watch it on television Saturday afternoon, January 10. Here comes the confusing part. I thought it was on USA Network Saturday afternoon. (That's the network with Monk and House marathon weekends if you can't remember which one it is). The Burlington VT Free Press newspaper television section lists it on USA at 4:30 pm. However, when I searched around online, the schedules say it is on NBC Sports . Both networks are owned by NBC so you can check your local listings to see where it actually is. Look for it at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.Also, there are some great videos of today's winning runs online at the Alliance of Action Sports website. Amazing displays of skill. The event runs tomorrow and Sunday so you still have plenty of time to get there. See my blog entry from yesterday for more information. (c) 2009 Jeff Connor Grunberg Haus

Two Days of Continuous Snow Adds Up
2009-01-09 04:00:00
Photo from the Mount Snow Dew TourMan, that was a LOT of snow. It has snowed (with a little sleet mixed in at the middle) for two days almost non stop. Weather forecasters call for a little more this weekend, mostly in the form of flurries so the white stuff is going to stay fresh for a while. If you have been thinking of heading to Vermont for any kind of snow activity, I can say with complete confidence that now is the time. Mount Snow Resort in southern VT got 10 inches of snow and Jay Peak in far northern VT got 20 inches. Speaking of Mount Snow, the Winter Dew Tour, sponsored by Mountain Dew soft drink, is there this weekend. The resort is near West Dover VT, about mid-way between Brattleboro and Bennington. There are some great freeski slopestyle videos here (in the right hand column) so you can get an idea of what you will see this weekend plus snowboards on the pipe. Spectator admission is free all weekend.Olympic gold medalist and Vermont native Hannah Teter will be ther...

See the Winter Trails website for information about this rare opportunity to test cross country and snowshoes free. There are ten ski areas around the state participating in Winter Trails 2009. Most of the Vermont ski areas are holding the event this coming Saturday, January 10 except Bolton Valley which is holding the event January 11. It would be a good idea to contact your selected ski area to confirm the event is still planned. Links to each area are on the Winter Trails website. Also, note that you have to fill out a Registration & Release Form - there is a link to it on the website. This is a great way to see some of Vermont's prettiest woods and countryside. It's easy to do and you generally stay warm from exercising. If you have not tried it, now is the time!(c) 2009 Jeff Connor Grunberg Haus Inn
