As a kick-off to the season, Maple Madness Weekend takes over the town of Woodstock on March 24 and 25.

The event takes place on Saturday, March 24 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door.

While cold temperatures linger, snow enthusiasts can get in the last runs of the season at the resort’s Suicide Six Ski Area or nearby Killington. The shift to warmer weather beckons guests to try resort activities such as handling a bird of prey at the New England Falconry or wrangling a fish during an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing excursion. Outdoor adventurers can hike trails such as the route up Mt. Tom, a trek that starts walking distance from the resort and offers panoramic views of the town below. A visit to Sugarbush Farm to learn about the maple sugaring process, taste pure Vermont maple syrup, and sample locally made cheese appeals to foodies and maple aficionados.
The 10,000 square foot spa features a relaxation space, a hot tub, and a Scandinavian sauna. March’s seasonally crafted spa treatment is the Sugar & Spice. It starts with a fine sugar polish drenched in jojoba and calming rose essential oil and is followed by a marshmallow shea butter balm body mask packed with antioxidants and vitamins. While wrapped, spa-goers receive a peppermint foot massage and wild lime scalp massage. The treatment ends with a clove and chamomile lotion application to help protect and soothe winter skin. Pricing starts at $135 for 50 minutes; $194 for 80 minutes (includes full body massage).
A choice of culinary options includes the Red Rooster, a fine dining restaurant that emphasizes fresh, local ingredients sourced from the best purveyors in New England, and the cozy Richardson’s Tavern.
Recognized as one of the “prettiest small towns in America,” the village of Woodstock offers guests history brimming with true New England charm. For shopping and strolling, downtown Woodstock’s quaint antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, specialty food markets and more are just outside the resort’s front door. Also, a short walk away are The Billings Farm and Museum and The Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller Mansion, Laurance and Mary Rockefeller’s home, which are part of the March-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park.
