Vermont Ski Area Specialty Food Days

The Ski Vermont Specialty Food Day Tour visits 17 member ski areas with local food, beverage, and other Vermont-y vendors. This pop-up farmer’s market-style event showcases all the unique things that Vermont has to offer, right at the base of the mountains we love. Sample various sweets and treats and go home with some too!
