Open Maple Sugarhouse Silloway Maple kicks sugaring season off with a bang, inviting one and all to an Open Maple Sugarhouse at its home base in Randolph Center. Visitors who tour the grounds, hike through the sugar woods or watch a live tapping demonstration get a comprehensive view of a classic family-run Vermont maple operation. The snowshoe race is anyone’s game (as long as they’ve brought their own snowshoes). And, of course, treats on tap include maple creemees, maple cotton candy, homemade doughnuts dipped in hot syrup, Silloway’s famous sugar-on-snow sundae, and even hot dogs boiled in maple sap.
