Winter Carnival & Vacation Week runs February 12 - 21, 2027 at Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee. Overnight guests get complimentary figure skates, hockey skates, helmets, snowshoes, Nordic skates (two-hour limit), hockey sticks and sleds, plus early access to skate rentals and a full calendar of skating, snowshoeing, sledding, marshmallow roasts, nightly movies, family trivia, bingo and crafts. The resort's winter specials (15% off midweek for Vermont and New Hampshire residents with promo code TWIN, and a free fourth midweek night after three) are posted on the same page but exclude holidays and cannot be combined, so confirm what applies to your dates when booking. Book online or call (800) 423-1211.
Lake Morey is home to the longest groomed skate trail in the country, a 4.3-mile loop on the frozen lake, and February vacation week is when the resort leans all the way into it. Book a room between February 12 and 21 and the rental gear that usually costs extra - figure and hockey skates, helmets, snowshoes, Nordic skates, hockey sticks and sleds - is included for overnight guests, with first dibs before day visitors arrive.
The resort is an old-fashioned lakeside hotel with an indoor pool, saunas, a gym, a game room with billiards and table tennis, and a lobby fireplace that gets a workout in February. During Carnival Week the activities calendar fills with marshmallow roasts, nightly movies, family trivia, bingo and crafts, so there is something to do when the kids are done with the ice.
It falls on Presidents' week, so book early and expect the resort to be busy. The midweek specials listed on the same page (15% off for Vermont and New Hampshire residents with code TWIN, free fourth night after three) exclude holidays, so ask reservations at (800) 423-1211 which rates apply to your dates. Fairlee is right off I-91, about 30 minutes north of White River Junction.
