...Come, stay, play! Chester
This Andover is named for the Connecticut town, which in turn was named for the one in Massachusetts. The town was nearly twice its present size when it was granted in 1761. However, a ridge of highlands (including the aptly named Terrible Mountain) made it virtually impossible to get from one side of town to the other, so the western portion was made into the separate town of Weston in 1799. Today the lovely town of Andover is home to many vibrant Vermont artisans, small authentic farms, and even a hot air balloon maker!
Nestled between Bromley, Magic, Stratton, and Okemo, located just west of the junction of Route 11 and 103 on Route 11, Chester is a town full of beautiful architectural treasures surrounded by unspoiled countryside. Lodging and dining, from elegant to homey, will make you glad to have found a thriving town that has not lost its sense of history and place. Nominated as one of the prettiest “Painted Places� in America, the charming village of Chester offers a number of shops with distinct personalities and a pretty village green.

Cavendish
Ludlow
Located along Route 131 and comprised of two villages, Proctorsville on the western end of Route 131 and Cavendish further to the east, several glimmer stone houses and numerous small businesses mark the two villages. Cavendish offers spring trophy trout fishing and kayaking along the scenic Black River. Proctorsville offers exquisite biking along unadulterated back roads and Route 131 as it winds along the river. Beautiful fall vistas of Vermont farm fields as well as hiking in state forests make for great yearround recreation.
Located at the junction of Route 100/103, this 150+ year old village began life as a mill town powered by the sparkling Black River. Chartered in 1761 when Seth Lee claimed his lot and settled on what is now Pond Street (Main Street). Today, the adorable town of Ludlow is the thriving four-season town in the heart of the Okemo Valley with shops, galleries, exceptional dining, a haven of lodging choices, and lots of things to do. Ludlow is home to Okemo Mountain Resort, a perfect year-round playground with worldclass amenities.

Mount Holly
Weston
Mount Holly is comprised of a group of small villages. The most recognized is Belmont, located west of Route 103N. This small village is located along the shore of breathtaking Star Lake.The village is anchored by a general store, as well as beautiful historic and contemporary homes. Mount Holly prides itself on several special annual events: the Fourth of July Celebration; Artfest, held the 1st weekend in August on the Village Green; Cider Days over Columbus Weekend; and monthly community dinners at Odd Fellows Hall from April through October.
Incorporated in 1799, Weston was originally part of Andover but the ridge created by Markham and Terrible Mountains made it impossible to get from one side of town to the other. Located on Route 100, 5 miles north of Route 11 in Londonderry and 10 miles south of Ludlow, Weston is virtually untouched by time, the entire village is on the National Register of Historic Places. Home of The Vermont Country Store, The Weston Playhouse and the famous Weston Priory (a Benedictine monastery), and one of the most picturesque village greens in Vermont.

Located on Route 100/100A, Plymouth is comprised of two small villages, Plymouth and Plymouth Notch, virtually unchanged since 1923, when in the old family homestead, Vice President Coolidge was sworn in as the 30th President of the United States. Historic Plymouth Notch is carefully preserved; the village church, general store, cheese factory, and community dance hall that served as the 1924 Summer White House. Plymouth is also home to the enchanting and unspoiled Coolidge State Forest offering seasonal campsites and trails for hiking.

Always ride responsibly and safely. Safe riding is the key to any successful outing on a snowmobile. Pictured are two professional riders on a closed course. Individuals may only legally ride their snowmobiles on marked VAST trails that are a part of the Statewide Snowmobile Trail System. Please operate your snowmobile in a reasonable and prudent manner. Lives depend on it, maybe yours. More than 80% of the trail system is on private property, use is through the generosity of these landowners. Snowmobiling is a privilege – when landowners share, show you care.

pring is a perfect time to visit the Okemo Valley. With a little planning, skiers and riders can combine some sweet spring skiing and snowboarding with a visit to a local sugarhouse to see how sap from sugar maples gets boiled down to make pure, delicious Vermont maple syrup. Join us in the Okemo Valley this spring for Vermont’s “Maple Open House Weekend” March 23-24, 2013. Activities include sugarhouse tours where visitors can watch maple syrup being made and sampling maple products such as traditional sugar on snow, and homemade specialties like maple cream donuts. The Green Mountain Sugar House, located on Route 100 North, just a few miles from Okemo Resort, welcomes visitors throughout the maple sugar season. Spring is packed with a ton of fun things to do! Visit yourplaceinvermont.com for our comprehensive event calendar including information about spring pond-skimming events, on-snow music festivals, and more. It’s also a great resource and to find the best area lodging, dining and specials! Join us!

services Trust. Honesty.
I
t’s true, you won’t find any billboards in Vermont; not because we have nothing to advertise—far from it—even a billboard can’t provide enough room to say everything
we’d need to say about the extraordinary local businesses and wealth of services the Okemo Valley has to offer. We take great pride in the wide array of family-owned businesses and local professionals serving our area. When you need a mechanic you can trust, a therapeutic massage or a plumber at sunrise, a local professional is just a phone call away. From LEED certified builders for renovation projects or new construction, to cutting edge health professionals, and concientious wedding planners, trust the businesses built on the spirit, pride and dedication of providing exceptional service and quality. Feel free to contact the Chamber at 802-228-5830 for a recommendation. And be sure to check out the website at www.yourplaceinvermont.com for the most up-to-date directory of local services.

Shuttle We would like to introduce you to The Okemo Valley Shuttle, powered by The Good Bus. The shuttle is a service of the Ludlow Police Department and the Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce. This service is being provided on a new 24 passenger bus free of charge to the community and visitors to the area by the local businesses and corporate sponsors. The Okemo Valley Shuttle will provide nighttime transportation beginning mid December till the end of March on Fridays, Saturdays and Holiday weeks from 6pm – 2am. It will run from Jackson Gore, travel over Okemo Mountain to the condominiums and roll through Ludlow with a turnaround at the Pointe stopping along the way at businesses, restaurants, hotels and bars.
The initiative was started with a primary focus on reducing the high number of drunk driving incidents. Chief Billings has informed us that the number of drunk driving arrests each winter season ranges from 30 – 50, that averages to 3 per week! Tesha Buss, owner of The Good Bus, says ‘Okemo Mountain & Ludlow has long needed a shuttle service like other resort areas here in VT. The Good Bus is excited to fill the transportation need for the Okemo Valley and contribute to the safety and vitality of our night life.’ 72
This service will operate in the evening allowing locals and visitors car free travel to patronize local businesses in a responsible manner. The Good Bus will also operate a taxi service providing a transportation option to those not along on the shuttle route. The taxi, a 15 passenger van, will also double as the Killarney Shuttle for this winter providing free transportation to/from The Killarney, located in downtown Ludlow and for hire to other locations. Mark Verespy, owner of The Killarney says, “The Okemo Valley Shuttle in addition to the taxi service, is an important next step in the continued growth of this area. I am excited and on board.”
“T
he Okemo Valley Shuttle in addition to the taxi service, is an important next step in the continued growth of this area.” ~Mark Verespy, Owner, The Killarney The taxi service can be reached by calling 802-776-8333. Check thegoodbus.com for additional information and shuttle schedules. The Good Bus also is available for hire for private charter services and can be reached during normal business hours by calling 802-776-8333 or via email at thegoodbus@gmail.com.
