globestompers & ...

Hello everyone,

I have no idea what globestompers are.
Would you take a look at some sentences below and let me know some?

And if you can, commenting some about others would be appreciated too.

Thanks a lot~

In a beautiful Victorian house built in 1890 (trivia: it was once home to actor Gary Cooper when he attended school in town), this independent hostel’s casual approach means a relaxed vibe, friendly folk and no lockout. It’s the place to rendezvous with active globestompers.

Popular with the local ski crowd, its pub grub (think wood-fired pizza and juicy burgers) stands up well to the smooth homemade microbrews. Happy-hour pints ($2.50) and lunch specials ($6) make it a local favorite day or night.
