Adventure Dinner: Back Country Love Trek

Saturday, Feb 13
Sunday, Feb 14

Location: 15 minutes north of Ripton
COVID-Style: Outdoor, progressive event with staggered start time + social distancing

This Valentine's weekend, we're taking to the backcountry of the Green Mountains for a winter adventure of epic proportions!

Your journey starts by careening up a mountain pass to get to our secret location, taking in the sights and sounds of the magical Green Mountain National Forest. Once on site you’ll strap on your cross country skis or snowshoes and set off on a 2 mile adventure in the deep snow drifts of the woods

But you won’t be alone! We’ve partnered with Chef Frank from The Great Northern to scatter four fire-cooked courses--each with a thematic drink pairing--along your trek. Each stop explores the warm love of cold climate from inspirational places around the world. Staggered start times means you can move through the trek at your own pace--ending with a final course of s’mores, sparklers and sparkling wine! 

Sign up with a loved one, or come alone for a solo adventure! Well behaved, leashed dogs welcome. Limited snowshoes and ski rentals available. 

Bring your gear, bring a loved one, bring an appetite for adventure! 

Note: We will host this event as long as the conditions are safe for trekking. In the event of a cancellation you will get a full refund. Your ticket price covers a $10 donation to the Blueberry Hill Outdoor Center in addition to WomenSafe. Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten-Free meals available upon request.

Stay safe during COVID-19: this is a progressive event with staggered trek times to allow space between guests. All state guidelines for quarantining and household limits apply. Masks and social distancing required at all times during this event.
