Love is in the Air at Vermont Ski Resorts

We all get two great loves! Spend time with both this Valentine’s Day by hitting the slopes with your honey. Renew your vows, stay somewhere luxurious at a discount, or just spend some quality time tearing up the mountains midweek.

Here are some of the highlights:

Mount Snow Resort
Cupid's wings will have to fly up to 3,600-feet on Valentine's Day at Mount Snow for the second annual Cloud Nine Nuptials, an event that attracted almost 20 couples to renew their vows and three other couples to tie the knot for the first time last season at the summit of the mountain. The free event takes place on the Cloud Nine trail where a local justice of the peace conducts the ceremony with couples gathered around a giant heart painted on the snow followed by a reception in the summit lodge. The southern Vermont resort is also offering two-for-$49 lift tickets when purchased in advance online. Make a night of it with the Valentine's Package that includes a night of lodging at the Grand Summit Resort Hotel, lift ticket, breakfast and a delivery of chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne to your room for $151 per person.
