Before embarking on a day filled with outdoor adventures, start your morning at the popular SunUp Bakery, where the coffee is hot and the service is friendly. The breakfast spot offers breakfast sandwiches from $3.50, a variety of freshly made muffins and house-made granola for $3.75.

 

Take a trip up the mountain at Killington Resort with a gondola ride. Costing $25, the experience involves a mile-and-a-quarter ride in an enclosed eight-person gondola cabin to the top of 4,241-foot Killington Peak. Once the gondola arrives at the peak, take a walk to the Peak Lodge for incredible views.

 

While at the top of the peak, enjoy a dining experience with a view at Peak Lodge, serving fresh deli sandwiches from $15, warming soups like chipotle apple turkey chili and vegetarian pumpkin chili for $7 and burgers from $15.

 

Spend the day skiing at Killington Resort, offering 22 lifts and 155 trails of varying difficulties. Lift tickets start from $51 for the day. If you want to get to know the Killington trail network but don’t enjoy skiing, take a 20–30-minute snowcat-drawn sleigh ride for $10.

 

Cap off your day of outdoor adventure with dinner at McGrath’s Irish Pub, offering entrees from $8, before enjoying live music, drinks and dancing at the legendary Wobbly Barn Nightclub.

Where Can You Find the Mai Tai Mile?

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
