Stowe, described as a "skiers paradise" and located on Mt.
Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak at 4,395 ft, is one of the most expansive
and modern ski resorts in Vermont. of skiing from groomed cruisers to bump runs. Stowe Village, just 6 miles
from the mountain, is a quintessential New England town of cosy inns and
clapboard houses, with rich cultural and historic links to Austria and Olde
England, creating a unique and charming ski trip.
While the trails are classic, the lifts are modern with a state-of-the-art eight person gondola that
whisks skiers from bottom to top in a blazing seven and a half minutes. Added to this is Stowe's
impressive snowmaking covering 73% of all trails and its fantastic annual snowfall record, allowing
the mountain to maintain a great snow base throughout the season.
The 485 acres of ski terrain are split between Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak. For the novice
skiers and riders, there's an entire mountain (Spruce Peak) criss-crossed with easygoing runs
which is a perfect base for beginners to learn and intermediates to progress. Once beginners have
gained their confidence, the instructors will lead them to the top of Mt. Mansfield where they can
ski almost 4 miles down "Toll Road" a fabulous green that snakes through the trees. Intermediates
are superbly catered for with good progression runs on both peaks such as 'Perry Merrill' and
'Gondolier' and with the longest average trail length in New England, be prepared to spend some
time on the mountain! Advanced skiers can really challenge themselves on the infamous "Front
Four" – 'Starr', 'Goat', 'National' and 'Lift Line' – arguably the most exciting runs in the East.
Snowboarders are welcomed at the special "Burton Learn-to-Ride Centre" located on Spruce
Peak or in the "Tyro" terrain park where catching air is a real hit!
Groups can also enjoy the slopes of Mt. Mansfield under a canopy of stars and ride the gondola
onto several night skiing trails open from 5-9pm approximately every weekend until mid-March.
