No other ski resort captures the spirit of a classic New England winter quite like Stowe. This is one of the USA's most intriguing ski resorts, with a 200 year history adding real character to the state of the art ski area. Stowe has an atmosphere which pulls skiers back time and again to ski on Vermont’s highest mountain, Mount Mansfield.

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. Mastered 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!
