Some people think that just because it starts to get a little warmer that winter is over…then Mother Nature reminds us who’s in charge and dumps a foot or two of snow on us. Well, its looking like another reminder is coming with predictions of 8-16 inches of fresh white stuff on its way. We have a pretty full house at Ten Acres this weekend so I’m sure that our guests will be pleased with their timing. If you want to see what it looks like out our front door, have a look at our webcam…and watch the winter wonderland…
The oldest downhill cross-country race of its kind is back for a 65th year! The historical fun race starts at the top of Mt. Mansfield and winds its way some 16km further down, to the picturesque village of Stowe.
That’s how the web site describes the Stowe Derby.  Many of our guests here at Ten Acres Lodge like to cross country ski so this event is right up their alley. You don’t have to be a world class skier to particpate. The web site continues…Â
The course follows the Auto Toll Road for the first 6km before briefly hooking up with existing cross country trails. The last 6km of the course are flat and follow the Stowe Recreation Path.
Choose between the freestyle or the classic race, or do both in the Derby Meister (for experts only)!!! A family friendly race is also available, the Short course. 6km of flat terrain for kids and their families and those who would rather avoid the descent…
