Our first stop on our way north to ski country is the Whetstone Station in Brattleboro, Vermont. It is the perfect example of what northern New England has to offer; craft beer brewed in house, delicious seasonal menus, and an incredible view of the Connecticut River. While the summer offers an incredible rooftop Biergarten, winter still hosts many community events. While there are no ski areas nearby, this is a place to start your New England ski journey.
