Stowe Mountain Lodge – Destination Hotels & Resorts
Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont is the birthplace of New England skiing, the ski Mecca of the east. Skiing in North America was literally born there. It’s one of the best places to get the full New England ski experience: a combination of spectacular views and challenging ski trails.
What makes this resort so great is that the trails are never too packed, the lodge is clean and brand new, the snow is always good and everyone is chill. Plus the Stowe mountain resort is right on Vermont’s highest mountain, Mount Mansfield.
The Stowe resort and town are quiet and comfortable and feature upscale services including fitness centers, spas, five star dining and much more. Spruce Mountain’s green and blues are great to enjoy the view. Stowe is a family friendly place with children’s programs and a mascot named Snowball who entertains the kids on crowded days.

It has massive amounts of snowfall, spectacular trails and friendly people. Jay Peak is five stars all the way. Whether you enjoy traditional trails or glade skiing, you will find some unique features and fun times on a mountain that still has a mountain–not a resort–feel.
