Two great deals at the Green Mountain Inn make it easier than ever to sample Vermont skiing at it’s finest this winter. The Inn’s Ski and Stay package is perfect for an overnight escape while the hotel’s Vacation Rewards Program’s offerings just get better and better for longer stays at the Inn.

For just $93 per person, the Inn’s Ski and Stay package includes one night’s lodging, lift tickets to Stowe Mountain Resort and two free Stowe Points Cards for you and your favorite ski buddy. Planning a longer ski vacation? The Inn’s Vacation Rewards Program features more ways to save by offering 15% off multi-day lift ticket prices plus discounts on lodging at the Inn when booked at least 7 days in advance. And kids under 5 not only ski free, but can stay free at the Inn.

Says Innkeeper Patti Clark, “We’re really excited to offer these two great packages to our guests this winter. Whether skiing with family or just looking for a quick getaway, visitors will be able to realize some exceptional values to help stretch their ski dollars even further. We’ve designed our packages to be flexible so guests can pick and choose the program that best suits their needs. Whether you choose the Ski and Stay package or the Vacation Rewards Program, they’re both great ways to save on Stowe’s best heart-of-the-village accommodations and renowned skiing and riding.”

Not only does the Inn’s Ski & Stay package provide accommodations in one of the Inn’s beautiful guest rooms, you’ll also receive a voucher good for a Stowe Points Card. The card entitles you to discounts on future lift tickets during the winter season plus you’ll earn reward points on purchases at Stowe Mountain Resort, which can be redeemed for a free lift ticket.

Want to stay and ski longer? The hotel’s Vacation Rewards Program is just what you’re looking for. The longer you stay at the Inn, the more you save and the more ski and ride goodies to choose from.
