Previous Events
Duet Dinner with Chef Ed Gannon
Chef Ed Gannon, who oversaw the Inn’s culinary program from 1989 - 1992, returned to take over Little Barn and White Barn Inn Restaurant in celebration of the 50th Anniversary. Chef Gannon and Mathew Woolf, the resort’s current executive chef, worked together to curate a menu of dishes showcasing some of the favorites from Gannon’s time at the resort.
Maple Syrup Magic
Our culinary team put on a sugar on snow demonstration by the inn’s roaring bonfire to showcase how boiling maple syrup turns to taffy on a fresh bed of snow. Following the demonstration, sweet treats were surved along with hot wassail made from a local maple farm in front of the fireplace.

Chef Jonathan Cartwright, who oversaw the Inn’s culinary program from 1995 - 2015, joined us for an unforgettable dinner experience in collaboration with Executive Chef Mathew Woolf.
