If you read this ski blog enough, you might get the idea that I like pairing a skiing outing with food or drink. Yes, I'm a sucker for après ski. When you read some of these reviews you can see why; in Vermont we've got a plentiful selection of places to tempt a skier after hitting the hill.

These recent articles don't cover the entire state, so feel free to chime in with some of your favorite places to eat and drink après skiing.

1.  This Seven Days article gives the skinny on some favorite eats near Vermont ski resorts. Restaurants such as the Back Behind Restaurant in Killington, The Reservoir in Waterbury, Stella Notte in Jeffersonville and the Green Cup Café in Vermont's Mad River Valley: http://www.7dvt.com/2009apr-s-ski-appetites

2.  The New York Times includes three venerable drinking holes in Stowe, Vermont – The Matterhorn, The Shed and Rusty Nail – in this travel article: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/12/13/travel/13hours.html
