Details

I have coordinated with Dave and Scott from Frog Meadow Bed & Breakfast in southern VT to block out the entire weekend for a GO members getaway.
We can arrive late afternoon/early evening Friday March 4th and stay through Sunday afternoon March 6th.
Lodging Frog Meadow has 4 separate rooms with a total of 3 queen-size and 2 king-size beds, so the event is limited to a maximum of 10.
Our “GO weekend getaway package price” is based on double occupancy (two people sharing a queen- or king-size bed); note that a single occupancy option is available, see below.
See http://www.frogmeadow.com/rooms_rates.html for more information about the lodging configurations and amenities.
Activities
·         We will start the weekend after dinner (on your own) on Friday night with a fireside welcome and social.
 
·         Saturday and Sunday mornings will start with a full country breakfast.
 
·         On Saturday and Sunday, participants can break off into groups and decide how they would like to spend the day. There are over 60 acres with trails for snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing at Frog Meadow. They are also very close to Mount Snow and Stratton for alpine skiing/boarding and Prospect/Grafton/Wild Wings for groomed XC skiing and XC equipment rentals.
 
·         Saturday evening we will all get back together for chips & dip/BYOB happy hour followed by a casual home-cooked “localvore” buffet dinner prepared by Dave. A vegetarian option will be available. Post-dinner is time for fireside or tubside relaxing and conversation.
 
·         Frog Meadow also has a full gym that is available throughout the weekend.
Bring Along Your favorite beverages for the weekend and snacks to share on Friday night.
Price & Reservations The price of $188 per person includes 2 nights lodging with full country breakfast each morning, dinner Saturday night and full access to the amenities at Frog Meadow from Friday arrival through Sunday departure.
This package price is based on double occupancy (two people per queen or king-size bed); note that a single occupancy option is available for $299 for those who snore or would prefer not to share a bed/room.
Please make your reservation directly with Frog Meadow (802.365.7242). This will allow you to the room you prefer and to use a credit/debit card for payment. 50% of the $188 will be due at the time of reservation; the balance is due a week prior to the event. In the event of cancellations, I will keep a waiting list.

Since Frog Meadow has blocked out the weekend just for us, be sure to identify yourself as a GO member and that you are booking for the GO Weekend.
