Great mountain with several lifts that can get you up the mountain quickly. Mountain facilities on Mansfield side are old but very clean. The Spruce side is nothing shy of world class and as good as you will see in the industry. It does cost a slot to ski and ride at Stowe and all the ancillary things but for the experience you get it is worth the price.

I ski 30 days a year Stowe is good at snow making and grooming even if the natural conditions are poor.

Just ski moved to Burlington Vermont from Colorado so Im a little jaded when it comes to ski resorts, but in saying that I give Stowe a solid 4 stars for an East Coast resort. Its got everything ya want, enclosed gondola, high speed quads, some not so high speed lifts for that New England feel, its everything right about the east coast from the resorts down to the quaint ski town. Is it the steep with insane trees, no that would be Mad River Glen. Does it have the deepest powder, no that would be Jay. However unlike those other two Stowe and has more than enough powder and manmade snow with great coverage, terrains for Experts to beginners and a great instructional programme. Theres also the convenience factor being right outside Burlington VT. Like many other Vail owned resorts you find Stowe a convenient drive from an airport. In summery; its all the fun of Killington without New Yorkers/Bostonians to ruin the chill New England vibe. Super close to an international Airport, ample lodging ranging from New England Bed and Breakfasts to resort hotels and motels, plenty of food options, and lastly lets not forget Stowe is part of the Epic Pass Making Stowe the most affordable of the big east coast resorts. Im going to add a Little addendum for the Disabled Community: If you are a disabled skier/snowboarder or ride a sit down Stowe is where its at. The resort is extremely accommodating to disabled folks like us. Im a below knee amount and I find that unlike many of the other resorts Stowe is ADA compliant, the lift operators and staff are extremely helpful and because its part of the Epic Pass its the most affordable option for disabled riders and they have specially trained coaches instructors who focus is on making your day on the mountain safe and memorable. I cant recommend Stowe enough for those who are looking for a great mountain thats accommodating to our individualised needs.
