Why Trapp Family Lodge dries this way
Terrain & soilTrapp Family Lodge (Stowe, VT) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The terrain here is rolling (a 5.1° average grade at 1,493 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the S-facing aspect soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier.
