The addition of a new slopeside luxury hotel & spa, a new base area, an inter-mountain transfer gondola, new trails, a new beginner area, two new high-speed detachable quads, fully-automated snowmaking, exclusive mountainside residences and a spectacular mountain golf course has reinforced Stowe Mountain Resort’s position as the East’s premier ski and four-season mountain resort. With Spruce Peak at Stowe... now open, a new legacy of visitors, experiences and environmental stewardship have affirmed Stowe’s century-long reputation as a world-class destination.
Stowe's average annual snowfall is 333". Coupled with new snowmaking and a commitment to groom and maintain the best snow surfaces in the east, Stowe is a skiers and riders paradise. Open mid November through late April, Stowe has inarguably the most authentic alpine terrain east of the Rockies. Just one visit through the town and up onto the mountain is proof enough that there is in fact, only one Stowe. Read more

Very disappointed with the time it took to get the liftopia voucher turned into a ticket - 40 minutes of waiting in line at Spruce Lodge at 10:00 on a Friday. Then on Saturday one of the tickets wouldn't work, had to spend over an hour skiing/boarding to same lift, waiting for the ticket to be reloaded - and had to argue to get that done. Otherwise, we were lucky with the snow falling everyday, 70% of the runs were in good condition. Good mountain, would recommend, short lift lines, even on Saturday. Lifts were not slow if you stay on the high speeds, which we road 10% of the time.

never buy your lift tickets too far in advance. Wait until the very last minute and know what the weather is going to be. It didn't just rain it poured when we went skiing and could not change the tickets.

Stowe is great. For beginners, there is the really great Toll Road trail that goes on for a couple of miles down the mountain with beautiful scenery along the way. Unfortunately, the expensive lift tickets draw an almost annoying crowd and the lifts are ridiculously slow. It's not a very friendly place, but it is beautiful. Oh, and also make sure to bring warmer ski clothes. It gets brutally cold.

Overall good day Sunday, although grooming was not great compared to Okemo + Sunapee . Lunch in Gondola Bar was way overpriced and skimpy with very slow service eventhough there was no crowd. Stowe terrain is so good that even below average grooming and poor food service can't wreck the day. Like the new lift ticket scanning system. Would like to see more choices for limited day skiing like Gunstock has with their scanning system.
Headed back in 2 weeks for a business meeting and hopefully better conditions.

been going to Stowe for 30 years.. went boarding for the 1st time since 94 and was amazed at the lift ticket prices... made for an expensive weekend as i was treating my girlfriend... they need to shave 20 bucks off... other than that i love stowe and i've considered moving there.... i've been boarding there since the mid to late 80's where i was instructed by a really cool guy and i still remember his name to this day. Lowell Hart... thanks man Stowe has quality boarding from beginner to pro and excellent ski schools....

The moiuntain was ridiculously better than I expected especially on saturday when 3 inches fell. I couldn't have been more excited. I was very pleased with the conditions.

The mountain has great terrain everywhere you. To avoid the lines of the quad head over to the mountain triple. The bottom of spruce peak is a nice family area but there are good runs up top off of the sensation quad. Overall great resort in a beautiful area, only drawback is the expensive lift tickets.

Great snow, great terrain and great lifts. Lift ticket prices are absolutely absurd though. No one wants to pay $84 dollars on a Monday to go skiing. I felt stupid paying $70 through liftopia. Stowe really needs to consider making their lift ticket prices more reasonable, at least offer cheaper rates for weekdays.

Since I'm a beginner in boarding, I find the green trails were very narrow for beginners. The blue trails were better off being that it was wider and better control for beginner. Other than that, no complaints.

Just back from an epic boyz weekend in Stowe!
With an advanced Telemarker and Intermediate (Soon to be Advanced) boarder. Great snow mountain wide..only let down was 3/6 pm on Spruce Peak but we attributed that to a race that was run over there on Sat. Tremendous fall lines...love the pitch of this Mtn! Most of the time on middle and gondola mansfield. Perry Mason, Gondo, Cliff and chin check!!
Lordy, Starr, Nosey and left over Goat sandwich! We'll be back to enjoy ASAP!!!

Awesome trip... the best mountain in New England! Skiers and snowboarders will love this mountain. Park at Spruce - nice quiet lodge with restaurant and bar (a bit pricey but nice) - take the gondola over to the other side - Also loved the lodge on the other side -more rustic - but had music playing and was a fun atmosphere.

Snowboarders: When booking a lift ticket + rental package, you must pick up your rental at the Spruce Peak lodge rentals versus Mansfield lodge. You can get a demo board, however, at the demo shop at Mansfield lodge for $24 per day extra. The boards are great and the guys that work there are very cool.

Park your car by 8a.m. then hit up the left side of the mountain in the morning then the right side after lunch.
This place has great snow and different types of terrain. I like.
