Stowe Skiing

Stowe, Vermont

The Best Snowboarding in North America



This quintessential Vermont town has history and charm oozing from every nook and cranny. There are over 60 restaurants in town, including excellent pubs and lodging establishments. The glare of modern trading has been avoided with strict sign-posting laws; even McDonald's golden arches are only three feet high! Stowe prides itself on its presentation and welcoming nature. Look hard enough however, and you will find down-to-earth grittiness behind the scenes.
At 4,393 feet, Mount Mansfield is the highest peak in Vermont. Since the first trails were cut in the 1930s, it has been one of the Northeast's pre-eminent resorts. Stretching over three faces (and the valleys in between), Stowe delivers demanding terrain. An abundance of waterfall cliffs and in-the-tree riding on the north-facing slopes makes them the most challenging freeriding areas. The western face plays host to the gondola and its hard-boot disciples, while freestylers hang out in the pipe above the gondola base. Spruce Peak, to the south, works best after a big snowfall; otherwise, it's purely intermediate to expert terrain. As a bonus , you can ride to neighboring Smugglers' Notch over Snuffy's Trail.
Mount Mansfield is east of Lake Champlain and the Great Lakes, which means that the mountain is the recipient of relatively heavy falls of water-laden snow. Occasional gusty winds make warm layers the safest clothing bet.

Yes very different.  The Friday tour is a group tour that is sort of a walking/eating tour.  An individual tour will see exactly the same things, but you won't have the food along the way.  If you have time on Wednesday I will take you to lunch at NECI on Main after you have a chance to see the campus.

     Hi Matt,
It would be great to see you again. That Friday is good, let us know if you’re running late and we can wait. We’re here on Saturdays too if that’s more convenient.
There are a few new beer bars in New Haven if you’re looking for stuff to do.
We’ll have some good beers for trading, I’ll ask my Matt what he’d like to get from you guys.
Best,
Rob
