Ski lifts, breweries, and a mountain chalet
Plate at the Whip Bar at the Green Mountain Inn, dinner at Doc Ponds with the Heady Topper list, a long lunch at the Alchemist taproom in Waterbury on the way in. Ski Mt. Mansfield in winter, fly-fish the Lamoille with Catamount Fishing Adventures in summer, then steaks at Michael's on the Hill. Rent a house on Mountain Road so the group can walk to the Matterhorn for last call.
