4. Snowmobiling

Green Mountain Snowmobile Adventures offers evening guided snowmobile tours through Smugglers’ Notch pass over to Mt. Mansfield (Stowe) ski area and day tours from Jeffersonville on the VAST trail system. Children ages 6 – 12 can participate in mini-snowmobile tours on Thursday, Friday and Sunday evenings. And if you have your own snowmobile, you can access VAST trails and the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail right from Sterling Ridge!

7. Skiing & Snowboarding

Sterling Ridge is located in the perfect place for easy access to three ski destinations: Smuggler’s Notch, Stowe, and Jay Peak! Travel to any one of these resorts for the day, and then return to your cozy cabin in the woods.

8. Ice Skating

Cambridge Community Center, less than 5 minutes down the road from The Ridge, has an outdoor skating rink you can enjoy, along with skates for rent!

Show off your artistic skills and build a snowman! We have free snowman kits at the office for all guests to enjoy.

10. RELAX & UNWIND

Last but not least, our favorite thing to do at Sterling Ridge: relax and unwind by the fire in your cozy log cabin.  Curl up with a blanket, a book, hot cocoa, and enjoy your home away from home this winter.
