What You’ll Get
Every Other Friday, You’ll Receive:
Vermont skiing presented properly. Local knowledge from someone who actually lives here and knows these mountains intimately. Not tourist advice—the perspective that comes from years of experience knowing where to go, when to go, and who to work with.
Alpine insights that translate. Four years working in French ski resorts taught me what great mountain culture looks like. I share what’s worth bringing to Vermont and what isn’t.
Hospitality principles applied. Twelve years managing fine dining restaurants and members clubs in London and New York means I understand what makes experiences exceptional. How anticipation beats reaction. Why relationships matter more than transactions. How to design trips with proper pacing and rhythm.
Specific recommendations. Which hotels. Which guides. Which restaurants. Which mountains. Based on real experience, not affiliate relationships or sponsored content.
Behind the scenes. What I’m learning as I build a members-club approach to Vermont ski experiences. The discoveries, the mistakes, the relationships being formed.
What You Wont Get
Gear reviews (plenty of sites already do this)
Generic ski advice you can find anywhere
Affiliate links or sponsored content
Weekly emails cluttering your inbox
Quality over frequency. Thoughtfulness over content for content’s sake.
