Stowe ski resort guide

Stowe ski information

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.

During your stay you will have the services of a remote rep who can be contacted 24 hours a day if you need assistance. There is no rep based in this resort but we will provide full pre-departure info for you.

Ski Information 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.

Ski Information 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.

Ski Information 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!
