Stowe, VT

Sounded like a steep mountain slope there! But great you all had a good workout on the snowshoes.

I've been to Stowe VT twice, in early fall. I love the area. We biked in the area and around abit for 5 days..it was part of my lst loaded bike tour in my life..many years ago.

I used to X-C ski at the von Trapp area. I wonder if they still have the Viennese Coffee House at the bottom of the hill? They served an amazing Sacher Torte there.

Yes, the Tea House is still there, but it didn't look very busy. There are so many good restaurants in Stowe, with a wide range of cuisine. On the way home we stopped at Lake Champlain Chocolates and Cabot Cheese; I had some super strong hot chocolate, which did my stomach in, after a weekend of eating and wine. We bought some dark chocolate non-pareils, some dark chocolate sauce, and some "seconds" of dark chocolate pieces.
