As one of Vermont's most famed resorts, Stowe is the quintessential New England Ski experience. At 4,395 feet, Vermont's highest mountain, Mt. Mansfield, is the home of the historic resort, offering breathtaking views and spectacular natural scenery. Across from the mountain is Spruce Peak, which offers more gentle terrain and an up-and-coming base village that will connect the two peaks. The "Front Four" are infamous for being some of the most thrilling and steepest runs in the east, including Starr, Goat, National and Lift Line. Spruce Peak is great for novice and intermediate riders and skiers, with plenty of gentle cruisers. Intermediates actually enjoy more than half of the resort's runs, as 60 percent are designated intermediate. First timers can start at the Spruce Peak base area, and great beginner trails are located off the lower lifts on Spruce Peak or on Mr. Mansfield, off the Toll House Chair.

The village of Stowe is classic New England: white churches and historic buildings line the picturesque main street, with antique shops and plenty of restaurants.
