Ski Vermont Specialty Food Tour Brings Taste of Green Mountain State to Ski Areas

This winter, skiers and riders can sample a variety of treats and libations at scheduled stops on the Ski Vermont Specialty Food Tour.

“The Ski Vermont Specialty Food Tour brings an important element of the Vermont experience directly to skiers and snowboarders throughout the state,” said Molly Mahar, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association/Ski Vermont. “The Vermont brand, whether skiing, dining or specialty products, is synonymous with authenticity, creativity and quality and there is a strong alliance between skiing and agriculture in this state. We want visitors to experience the best of our hearty, healthy Vermont way of life on the slopes and in our community restaurants and markets.”
