The next stop in the NENSA Community Tours and Events series is the Tour de Stowe, a tour de challenge featuring skiing through the Trapp Family Lodge countryside, cider, blueberry soup, a vendor expo, raffle, and a post-event party at the Von Trapp Bierhall.
BKL and junior reduced-cost entries can enjoy a supported ski featuring blueberry soup and doughnuts, and return to the warmth of the Yurt for cider from Cold Hollow and a Vendor Expo.   
Participants are  invited to a post-ski celebration in the Trapp Bierhall with schnitzel, bratwurst, fresh pretzels, and non-alcoholic beverages.  There will also be a cash bar offering the award-wining Trapp lager.
The hills truly are alive! Skiing, friends, delicious food, fun products, and a community celebration in the Bierhall are certainly a few of our favorite things and we look forward to seeing you!
Proceeds go to the Stowe Nordic Foundation and will support youth nordic programs in Vermont.
