Montpelier, VT – From Vermont’s highly recognizable brands like Cabot Cheese, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Vermont maple syrup to local goodies like Kimball Brook Farm chocolate milk and Gringo Jack’s chips and salsa, skiers can enjoy all the flavors of Vermont during the Ski Vermont 2016 Specialty Food Day tour. This season, Ski Vermont marketing partners Long Trail Brewery and Woodchuck Cider will join Vermont Spirits on the tour to provide a complete line up of quintessential beer, cider and spirits tasting.
“The Specialty Food Day tour is one of our favorite programs. It’s so great to offer samples of Vermont’s delicious treats to skiers and riders and show them the community that is Vermont,” said Sarah Wojcik of Ski Vermont. “We’re also excited to add Long Trail and Woodchuck to the tour this year and a fun new contest. We’re expecting that skiers and riders will discover how well our food and beverages pair together and want to share it with their online community.”
Skiers and riders can participate in a contest this year during Ski Vermont’s Specialty Food Day tour. Samplers will be encouraged to take photos of their food and beverage experiences and tag them #SnackSkiVT on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Ski Vermont will draw four winners over the course of the tour who will receive swag bags that include lift tickets, and products from Burton, anon, Rossignol, Skida, Long Trail, Vermont Spirits and other specialty food vendors.
Returning Vermont food vendors include: Cabot Cheese, Vermont Maple Syrup Makers Association, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Keurig Green Mountain coffee, Kimball Brook Farms chocolate milk, Gringo Jack’s chips and salsa, Vermont Spirits, It’s Arthur’s Fault sauces, and Ambrosia Confections.
