My boyfriend and I returned from a weekend (1/31-2/2) in Stowe to celebrate out One Year Anniversary together. We were worried about expensive activities and not having enough time to do anything, but it turned out to be a PERFECT WEEKEND!

I know, some avid skiers are going to think me nuts, but if you knew just how unathletic I am, you would realize you DEFINATELY do NOT want me on the slopes! But I love Vermont with a passion, and in particular Stowe, VT, best known for its skiing. If...

An Accomplished Resort Town: Stowe, Vermont

by rubyrum , Mar 16 '00

The Athletic Skier's Mountain

by jshefftz , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Really Serious Terrain; Charming Village
Cons: Too-Small Lodge; Relatively Compact Mountain
I call Stowe The Athletic Skier's Mountain largely because of its challenge. The average pitch far exceeds its southerly neighbors, while Goat and Starr offer lift-served, in-bounds extreme terrain (with snow to cover it) that is almost unique in New...

Best Skiing in the east!!

by colldy , Feb 05 '01
Pros: Good expert terrain, good lifts, short lines, good snow.
Cons: Cold, too far north.
Stowe is one of the best mountains in the east. It has some of the hardest terrain you can find anywhere, east or west. Runs like Goat are just plain scary, but with skill can be fun.

Caution
by boxers ,Feb 04 '04
Pros: The Gondola (when its open) Perry Merril (on a good day),
Cons: Conditions, lifts, customer service
I love Stowe and I have been skiing there for over 30 years but I would caution anyone considering a trip there to check first and see how much of their facilities are up and running. If it gets cold or windy (and it often does) they will shut down all but a few lifts . Last weekend the only lift available at Mansfield base was the triple (an antique) and the wait for it was over 45 minutes.

The slopes tend to be icy, but hey this is Vermont. The base lodge is quaint but bordering on seedy.
