Of all Vermont ski resorts, Stowe perhaps come closest to the storybook image of the state. If you’re looking for some good skiing and the charm of wooden clapboard buildings surrounded by snowy forest, Stowe ski resort is for you. It’s farther north than Killington <\/a>and other Vermont resorts such as Stratton and Okemo, making it less susceptible to weekend commuter crowds from Boston and beyond, while the skiing on Mount Mansfield (Vermont’s highest peak) is in the East Coast’s top league.<\/p>\n

Stowe doesn’t just seem old: it really is, and so too is its skiing. It was first developed as a resort in the 1930s, but its lift infrastructure is considerably newer and includes a new express quads and two gondolas. The village of Stowe itself- which does more summer than winter business- is six miles (9.6 km) from the ski area and is sufficiently charming to make Stowe one of the few North American snowsport resorts that non-skiers can enjoy as much as skiers.<\/p>\n
