The Ski Club of New Jersey

A ski club for ski and snowboard enthusiasts

Our Vermont Lodge

The Ski Club of New Jersey purchased the old Barstow Farm  in Chittenden, Vermont in 1960, which then became our SCNJ lodge.

It is nestled off a private country road, proximate to The Green Mountain National Forest, a preserve with hundreds of miles of trails, ponds, falls, and views.

While many social events and activities, such as our Annual Picnic, keep us busy throughout the year in New Jersey, the Vermont Lodge is where the heart of our club’s happenings occur.

 
It is where we go to gather, ski, hike, swim, and enjoy the four seasons in Vermont.
 
Through the years, the lodge has gone through a continuous series of improvements.
 
New roofs, new siding, and a multitude of interior renovations have resulted in a rustic lodge with all the comforts of home, and then some:
  • a large dining room which can seat almost 50 people
  • a large farmhouse kitchen and pantry, with numerous refrigerators for your food
  • lodging for fifty-two people
  • a classic farmhouse porch
  • an outdoor fire pit

There is a well-provisioned recreation room for kids, and a cozy living room with a fireplace.

The lodge is down the road from the beautiful Mountain Top Inn.

The Lodge is within reach of the Chittenden Reservoir, and miles upon miles of hiking and cross country skiing trails and summer water sports.

The area is ideal for mountain biking, fishing, and there is horseback riding as well.

Of course, Killington Ski Resort and Pico Mountain  are the obvious local choices for skiing, as they are minutes away, but Vermont has many others to choose from as well.  

The lodge phone number is: 802-483-9385
