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.
