Join Us for the Annual Sugar on Snow Party!

As part of our annual Sugar on Snow celebration, Pride Hikers will enjoy a private walking tour of our Bird-Friendly Sugarbush and have the chance to practice tapping maple trees! We’ll meet at 11 AM in front of the Sugarhouse, where parking attendants will direct you to available parking in the Sugarhouse Lot or across the street.

The tour will take us through the sugarbush, concluding with tree tapping in small groups, sap tasting, and maple syrup tasting. If you're interested, we can also stop by the Sugarhouse to hear from our sugarmaker about the maple syrup production process.

Feel free to arrive early or stay after the hike to enjoy the rest of the event. Please note that the only food provided will be sugar on snow and donuts, so you may want to bring your own lunch if you'd like to eat after the hike.

Trail/Accessibility Information
The Sugarbush trails are mostly wide and flat, covering approximately 0.75 miles with only 7 feet of elevation gain. There are no benches along the trail, but our Clubhouse area, where the main event will be, is nearby and has plenty of benches and picnic tables. More information about trail accessibility.

We look forward to seeing you there!
