First off, you need to know that Stick Season is the time between our glorious fall foliage and the start of our legendary ski season. It usually falls in November, when the leaves have taken their final bow and the snow hasn’t quite decided to grace us with its presence yet. Some might say it’s a bit of an in-between phase, but trust me, it’s a special time.

Imagine the mountainsides, once adorned with vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, now stripped down to their bare bones – hence the name “Stick Season.” But don’t let that fool you into thinking Vermont loses its charm during this time. In fact, Stick Season has its own unique beauty and charm that you won’t want to miss.

  1. Peace and Quiet: If you’re looking for some serene moments away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Stick Season is your ticket. The roads and trails are less crowded, making it the perfect time for a peaceful hike or a scenic drive through our picturesque countryside.
  2. Cozy Accommodations: Here at Ashley Management Group, we know a thing or two about cozy accommodations. Our vacation rentals in Stowe, Vermont, are the perfect home base for your Stick Season adventure. Imagine curling up by the fireplace with a warm cup of cocoa after a brisk walk in the crisp November air – it doesn’t get much better than that!
  3. Local Flavors: Stick Season is also an excellent time to savor the local flavors of Vermont. With fewer tourists around, you can dine at our charming local restaurants without the usual wait times. And don’t forget to try some of our world-famous Vermont cheese – it’s gouda to the last bite!
  4. Prep for Ski Season: For all you winter sports enthusiasts, Stick Season is the ideal time to gear up for ski season. You can get your equipment tuned, your passes in order, and your ski legs back in shape before the slopes are blanketed in fresh powder.
  5. Leaf Pile Fun: Sure, the leaves have fallen, but that just means it’s time for some classic leaf-pile jumping! Bring out your inner child and dive into the crunchy piles of leaves that cover every inch of the ground.
