Stowe ski resort
Snow Range
405-1200m
a fantastic winter wonderland for both skiers and non-skiers
Offering a world of winter experiences, no other ski resort captures the spirit of a classic New England winter quite like Stowe. If you are looking for character and charm then this picturesque town with its 200 year history, combined with the ski area's state of the art facilities should be your choice. Stowe has an atmosphere which pulls skiers back time and time again to ski on Spruce Peak and Vermont's highest mountain, Mount Mansfield. The slopes are accessed from the town by a short ride on the free 'town trolly' and now Spruce Creek and Mt Mansfield are connected by a fantastic transfer gondola thus making it more effortless to switch between the two Stowe base areas.

The slopes
Beginners
The Easy Street trail on Spruce Peak is the ideal place to learn and Stowe's excellent ski instructors will ensure fun and fast progress. Master the basics and enjoy long, easy runs all the way down from the peak, so you can enjoy the exhilaration and spectacular views of the mountain tops.
Intermediates
Spruce Peak has flattering, well-groomed cruising runs, while the front face of Mount Mansfield offers the steeper challenges. For real fanatics, New England's highest and longest night skiing is available on Mount Mansfield 4.30-9.00pm, Thursdays to Saturdays.
Advanced
From the top of the Forerunner high-speed quad chairlift, Stowe's famous 'Front Four' double diamond black runs drop steep and deep, tempting experienced skiers to test their skills. Try runs like National, Goat or Nosedive for the most entertaining bumps, or Liftline for showing off under the chairlift!
Snowboarding
Mt Mansfield is among the best freeriding mountains in the East. There is a boardpark and 200m half-pipe to check out and the beginners terrain is superb, helping to make learning enjoyable and speedy.
