Described as a 'skier’s paradise’ Stowe is located on Vermont’s highest peak and is one of the state’s most expansive and modern resorts. From top to bottom there’s a variety of skiing from groomed cruisers to bump runs. Stowe Village, just six miles from the mountain, is a quintessential New England town of cosy inns and clapboard houses, with rich cultural links to Austria and Olde England, creating a unique and charming ski trip destination.

On the slopes

While the trails are classic, the lifts are modern with a state-of-the-art eight person gondola that whisks skiers from bottom to top in seven and a half minutes. Stowe also has impressive snow-making facilities to complement its fantastic annual snow fall, with 73% of all trails covered with snow cannons to maintain a great snow base throughout the season. For beginners there’s an entire mountain, Spruce Peak, crisscrossed with easygoing runs which is a perfect base to learn and progress. Once confident, instructors will lead them to the top of Mt Mansfield from where they can ski almost four miles down Toll Road, a fabulous long green which snakes through the trees. Intermediates are superbly catered for with good progression runs on both peaks and advanced skiers can really challenge themselves on the infamous Front Four - arguably the most exciting runs in the east. Snowboarders are welcomed at the specialist Burton 'Learn to Ride Centre' or in the Tyro terrain park, where catching air is a real hit!

Off the slopes

Activities include bowling, ice-skating, sleigh rides, karaoke, disco and shopping.
