Surrounded by snow-dusted trees and good company, it’s the perfect start to a weekend of connection, adventure, and calm.
## Day 2 - January 31
Saturday at Sowilo is all about winter adventure your way. We’ll start the day together with a hearty breakfast at the retreat, fueling up for a day of mountain exploration. For those eager to hit the slopes, we'll go to Stratton Mountain offering its own mix of scenic runs and winter charm.
If you prefer to stay on the trails, our hiking and snowshoeing group will head out to explore the region’s natural beauty. Options include Sowilo Trail, Cambridge Community Forest, Lye Brook Falls, or Saratoga Spa State Park all offering peaceful winter landscapes and crisp mountain air.
After a day of adventure, the hikers will go for a cozy lunch in town before returning to Sowilo to unwind.

As evening settles in, we’ll gather for a delicious dinner back at the retreat, followed by a laid-back fireplace party music, drinks, laughter, and that unmistakable winter weekend magic.

Those eager to keep the momentum going can head back to the slopes for another day of skiing or snowboarding at Stratton, while others can opt for a scenic horseback ride through the snowy countryside — a serene and unforgettable way to close out the weekend. Following the morning’s activities, we’ll meet up in town for a relaxed lunch to share stories and laughs from the trip.
