Ten Acres Lodge - A Stowe Vermont Bed and Breakfast
December 2, 2011
Yes, I know….no snow on the ground here yet. But, snow making is happening on Mt. Mansfield and skiing is is in full swing. Since we are in another La Nina year (the Pacific Ocean is colder than normal), it is expected to produce a good winter here in the northeast with plenty of snow. It’s just getting a late start. You can always check out our webcam to see surrent conditions and temps. While we have no snow here, there is snow on the mountain.
Our early booking special for winter has expired but we still have several options to save on your winter holiday. Check out our special here.
Christmas rooms are almost sold out so act quickly if you’re planning to come. You can book on line with us or feel free to call.
As for me, it’s back to “paint patrol” (doing some painting in the rooms) and getting caught up on paperwork and preparing for the holiday season. Hope to see you soon!

A great tradition you should experience is the annual springtime ritual of harvesting maple sap. If you come up to Vermont in late March you can learn the process of making maple syrup. We serve maple syrup here (we call it liquid gold) and once you’ve had it, you never have the fake stuff again.Â
You’ll learn a lot about how it’s made and of course, get to sample the fruits of the labor. You’ll start to understand the reason behind the high cost since it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. Please visit us at Ten Acres Lodge and see for yourself the magic of making maple syrup. Click the link below for more info.

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…

- Snowscape
Weather forecasters….you gotta love ‘em. Yesterday the forecast was for a “chance of snow showers”. By the end of the day, we had 6-8 inches of new snow. Not that we’re complaining….well I might be since I have to plow and shovel the stuff. And more snow is on the way! The point is, while we do depend on weather forecasts to plan our day and trips, winter weather here in Stowe is largely unpredictable. Microclimates, as they are called here, can mean different amounts in snow in neighboring communities. If you want up to date conditions, check out our web cam at www.tenacreslodge.com
The picture shows what can happen when we have a thaw. The snow on the roof of our shed was sliding down as it melted, then froze like this. It was this way for a week. An unusual sight!
For you skiers and snow lovers, the conditions are great! Come up and see us!
