Our Wedding

We love to tell this story so you've probably heard it before...Jules started working at AOL in early 2007, where Jared had already been established in the world of digital media and music for a few years. Jules' reputation for incredible athletic prowess quickly circulated the AOL sales floor. A crew of large, gruff sales guys immediately started stopping by her desk each day to beg her to join the AOL corporate softball team. Jules was NOT interested. Finally, one day she gave in and agreed to play in one game. She found herself sandwiched in the back of a tiny BMW on her way to Randall's Island for her very first softball game. Although she cannot remember anything about that game, or how she or the team did, she can remember locking eyes with center fielder Jared at post-game drinks at the dirty Upper East Side bar The Back Page. The two softball rookies made an instant connection over bad draft beer and buffalo wings. After that night, Jules decided that she loved softball, and ultimately became captain of the team, making sure to organize a team bonding event every single week. Jared never missed a game. The rest is history! A special shout out to our friends on the AOL Softball team who probably knew what was happening before we did.

It was Love at First Pitch

Head up to Mad River Glen for a hike to see the mountain we love so much! Trail descriptions below and more info on the website:The Stark Mountain Trail (2.5 miles to the summit – 2,036' of vertical gain) This trail follows a wide, well established, "work road" up to the summit of General Stark Mountain. It meanders up the ski trails under the Single Chair, past a large waterfall, over towards the Sunnyside Double chairlift, into what is known as the Birdland area. This hike generally takes 1 to 1.5 hours to reach the summit. The Bunny Cut-Off Trail This trail is slightly steeper than the Stark Moun- tain Trail and cuts 0.4 miles off of the hike to the summit. The Bunny Cut-Off Trail diverges from the main trail and then ascends the ski trail named Bunny. It rejoins the Stark Mountain Trail about 0.5 miles below the Single Chair mid-station. This intersection is just 0.2 miles downhill with the intersection with the Sunnyside Trail. The Sunnyside TrailThis spur off of the Stark Mountain Trail slopes gently up the Fox ski trail for 0.4 miles to the top of the Sunnyside Double chairlift. From the summit of the lift it connects with the Long Trail. Go south (right) on the LT and you'll head down towards the Appalachian Gap (distance 1.6 miles). The Long Trail The Long Trail runs south from the top of Appala- chian Gap where it intersects with the Stark Moun- tain Trail at the summit. It also connects with the Sunnyside Trail. These intersections allow hikers to make loops of varying length and difficulty on Gen. Stark Mountain. From the top of Appalachian Gap you can take the Long Trail north for 1.3 miles to Molly Stark Balcony which offers beautiful views of Camel's Hump and Burnt Rock. Jerusalem Trail This out and back trail emanates from Jerusalem, follow the Jim Dwire Road to the trail head park- ing area. The trail begins gradually then ascends steeply through heavy forest to connect with Long Trail 0.9 miles south of the summit of Gen. Stark Mountain. Hikers can also go north on the Long Trail where it follows along the ridge skirting Sug- arbush's ski trails before reaching the summit of Mt. Ellen, Vermont's third-highest peak at 4,083'.
