Pros and cons
- Each sector of the mountain has something different
- Fantastic snowmaking coverage ensures a reliable season
- Picturesque setting and lots of accommodation in pretty woods
- Very little accommodation on the hill
- All runs are top-to-bottom – lower runs suffer in warm weather and the tops canbe frigid in cold weather
- Keen skiers will want to explore nearby resorts if coming for a week
On the Slopes
Although there is limited accommodation on offer at the base of the hill itself, there is a good range to chose from along the road up from the small, tourist town of Stowe. Smugglers’ Notch is only a few miles up the road, offering further options for a multi-resort trip.
The two main sectors, Spruce Peak and Mt Mansfield are linked by a gondola running over the through road, making getting around nice and easy. Beginners should focus their attention on the former, with the Adventure Centre providing an excellent zone for learning. Intermediates will particularly enjoy the latter and the long, cruisey runs beneath the gondola – which is also the best place to head when the weather is very cold or wet. A trip to nearby Smugglers’ Notch is also very worthwhile.
More advanced skiers and riders should head up to the top of the Forerunner Quad to ski some of the region’s toughest slopes, particularly those on the upper half of the mountain. The Main Street racetrack on Spruce Mountain is also popular. If snow conditions allow, good gladed skiing is on offer under the Lookout chair, whilst freestyle skiers and riders will enjoy the Tyro and Lower Standard terrain parks.
In the Resort
You can stay up at the base of the mountain in the Lodge at Spruce Peak, but aside from a few other condos there are limited options at the base – it usually remains quiet in the evenings as a result.
Most visitors tend to stay along the Mountain Road that runs up from the small villages of Stowe and West Branch. Along this road, a collection of hotels, B&Bs and condos provide good accommodation options and there are also some good bars, restaurants and even microbreweries in this pretty part of Vermont.
Getting to Stowe
Burlington airport, a quick hop from the major hubs is around 45 minutes to the west. Boston is the nearest major airport, laying a three hour drive to the south of Stowe. New York is around five hours away, but offers a great city break option to tack on to your ski trip.
Amtrak serves nearby Waterbury-Stowe Station via the Vermonter service – trains are once a day and take a hefty 8hrs to make the trip to or from New York’s Penn Station (Moynihan Train Hall), or 12hrs to reach Washington D.C. Union Station, so aren’t for those rushing to make a flight, but offer a scenic and relaxing alternative to driving. Transfers from Waterbury to Stowe village are c.20mins on public busses, with the mountain another few minutes down the road.
- Burlington airport: 1 hour
- Boston airport: 3 hours
- New York airport: 5 hours
- By train: 8hrs from New York via Amtrak
- By train: 12hrs from Washington, D.C., via Amtrak
Season Dates
Dates for the 2024/25 season are still to be confirmed; the season at Stowe typically runs from late November to Mid-April.

Mild conditions dominate over the Left Coast, with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions thanks to high pressure over the region. A few flurries of snow and rain will move across the region, and Colorado will see temperatures fall and up to 30cm of snow moving in to start the week.
On the Ice Coast, warm temperatures dominate with plenty of rain to boot, all throughout this weekend and the new week.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
