  • Growing up VT

    As someone who grew up spending weekends in an old farmhouse in Duxbury, VT and learning to ski at Sugarbush North back when you could get a free ski ticket on President’s Day by reciting the Gettysburg Address at the ticket booth, I absolutely love your podcast! While my mom has since passed, my stepdad still summers in Duxbury and I am continuing the VT legacy with my own home in Chester. There’s not much happening in VT, but always something to look forward to on the next trip.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Magic of Maple Season in Vermont
Q: What keeps you going year after year given the costs and energy involved?
Building and maintaining an infrastructure that has become part of their identity; the work is deeply rewarding, and the couple feel compelled to continue because sugaring connects them to nature and provides a meaningful way of life.
The Magic of Maple Season in Vermont
Q: Tell me about the ideal conditions for boiling and when the sap runs.
The sap runs best with warm daytime temperatures that wake the trees, followed by cold nights that allow sap flow to interrupt and restart; a window of mild sun, some rain or wet snow, and temperatures around 28-40 degrees at night creates the optimal cycle.
Vermont Fire Towers
Q: Do you know what the oldest standing tower is in Vermont?
The oldest standing tower in Vermont is believed to be on Stratton Mountain, built in 1913.
Vermont Fire Towers
Q: What is the historical and cultural significance, you think, of fire towers?
Fire towers are unique historical structures that connect us to the conservation movement and serve a purpose today for those wanting to enjoy the outdoors and the views.
Vermont Fire Towers
Q: How tall is this fire tower?
This tower is about 54 feet, measured from the top of the concrete base to the floor of the cab at the top.
