Stowe

With skiing on Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont, Stowe is one of the best known resorts in the US, as well as one of the most picturesque. Lift-linked to Smugglers Notch. The world’s fastest eight-passenger gondola opened here in 1992 and there is a full service ski and snowboard shop with demos from many manufacturers. Night skiing is also available. Stowe frequently receives top ratings in US ski and snowboarding magazine reader surveys of East Coast resorts.
