| What’s the difference between the Full Send and Half-Pipe packages? |
Full Send is the all-in experience:
-
4 nights at our private inn takeover, The Brass Lantern
-
Daily breakfast
-
5-course wine dinner
-
Party passes to all Winter Pride events
-
Round-trip transportation on The Queen Line
-
Private après-ski hangout at the inn
Half-Pipe includes everything except:
-
Lodging
-
Daily breakfast
-
Après-ski hangout
It's perfect if you’ve already got a place to stay or want more flexibility!
|
|
| Can I come solo? |
Absolutely! Solo travelers are more than welcome. Just note that Full-Send pricing is based on room occupancy, so booking a room for yourself will cost more than splitting with a roommate.
If you’re open to sharing but don’t have a travel buddy, let us know—we’re happy to help match you with other solo guests. Sharing is a great way to save and meet new friends, but going solo is always an option.

|
| Are lift tickets included? |
Lift tickets are not included in either package. While we’d love to make this part of the all-inclusive experience, we’ve found that you’ll actually save money by booking directly through EpicPass.com. In addition, not all travelers will be skiing and not all will want to ski the same days. For these reasons, we have been advised by Vail Resorts that it is best and cheapest for members to purchase lift tickets individually at EpicPass.com.
You will, however, save 25% on your rental equipment by being a Queen House member and traveling with our group. The discounted rental equipment includes overnight storage at the Mountain.

| Do I have to ski to come? |
Not a skier? Not a problem.
This trip is all about doing winter your way—skiing is totally optional. Stowe has plenty to offer off the slopes:
Cozy up by the fire, hit the hot tub, explore the charming town, join us for après-ski at the inn, hit the shops, book a spa day, go snowshoeing, or simply enjoy the snowy views with a warm drink in hand.
Whether you’re here for the powder or the party, there’s something for everyone.
|
|
| What's the food situation? |
If you're on the Full-Send package, you’re in for some delicious perks: daily breakfast at the inn, a 5-course member dinner with wine pairings on Thursday night, and a private après-ski tea event after hitting the slopes on Friday.
If you're on the Half-Pipe package, the only included meal is the 5-course wine dinner—you’ll be on your own for breakfast and all other snacks/meals during the week. Either way, you definitely won’t go hungry in Stowe!
|
|
| Is transportation included? |
Yes! Both packages include round-trip transportation from Boston (departing from a location TDB in Dorchester) aboard our private luxury coach, The Queen Line.
Full-Send guests staying at The Brass Lantern will also have access to daily shuttles to and from the slopes. Half-Pipe guests staying nearby are welcome to hop on these shuttles too—just make your way to the inn each morning.
|
|
| Can I choose my room? |
Yes! The Brass Lantern Inn has 9 unique rooms—each with its own charm, size, and layout. When booking, you’ll choose your preferred room based on its offerings and availability.
Rooms are first-come, first-served, so book early to get the one that fits your vibe (or friend group) best.
You can preview each room by clicking “Book Now” and checking out the options under the "Select a Package" dropdown.
|
|
| How does booking work? |
Packages are sold by room, so if you’re traveling with friends, only one person needs to reserve the room for your group.
For example, if four of you want the Mt. Mansfield Suite, one person will book it—and it’ll be instantly removed from the available options.
At checkout, that person can either:
-
Pay in full for the whole group, or
-
Split the cost by entering each roommate’s email—everyone will get their own payment link.
Simple, flexible, and first-come, first-served!
