A great ski resort for beginners and intermediates.
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. From top to bottom there's a variety 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.
For beginners there's an entire mountain - (Spruce Peak) - criss-crossed with easygoing runs which is a perfect base to learn and 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 and advanced skiers can really challenge themselves on the infamous "Front Four" - 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!
