Five years ago today marked the first day we opened our Sessions Food & Tour Trailer at The Snow Job lot in Jay, Vermont. If you had told us then where we would be five years later, we would have filed that under the “wildest dreams” category.
The concept for our business was established during the height of COVID, at a time when no one knew what the world would look like moving forward—uncertain times, for sure. We took a gamble and hedged our bets (mostly with stimulus checks), hoping our drive to make our dream a reality would outpace the difficult times we anticipated ahead.
Our “Food & Tour” concept was created by looking at the needs of our ski town community at that time. Jay Peak Resort had to close its doors for a period of time, and due to federal and state requirements, guests were not allowed inside the lodge to boot up or grab food before, between, or after a day of epic skiing & riding.
When the lifts stopped spinning, a large portion of ski and snowboard bums quickly realized that if you wanted the goods, you had to hike for them. As a result, there was a surge in backcountry rescues here in Vermont and throughout the country, and there were very few guides servicing the area (aside from Jay Peak staff)—and certainly no dedicated businesses. In response, we designed and built our trailer as a hub for guided tours and concessions, and we found a cozy home at The Snow Job ski shop.
As we built our business and our reputation, we were approached by other local business owners—such as Crofter’s Green, The Woodshed Lodge, and others—as well as prominent families in the area, to provide catering services. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of catering weddings, graduations, baby showers, and have lead numerous four season guided tours, and much more for people we care deeply about. We are incredibly grateful to be part of their celebrations, and adventures.
Without all of these amazing people standing in our corner and rooting for our success, none of this would have been possible.
Cheers to 5 years in business, and thank you all for believing in us !
