The attractive old village of Stowe, beautifully situated at the foot of Vermont's highest hill, Mount Mansfield (4393 ft) is now the state's leading winter sports centre.
Stowe (pop. 500) is a good base to explore nearby recreational opportunities. The town is known for it's proximity to ski and other sports facilities.
The Stowe Mountain Resort offers a vertical drop of 2,360 feet, 11 lifts, including one gondola, and has a majority of runs targeted at intermediate skiers.
Summer recreational opportunities include a 2,300 foot Alpine Slide, a skateboard park, hiking, or a drive up the Auto Toll Road which winds its way up to the summit ridge of Mt. Mansfield. There is also a summer program for kids at the Children's Day Camp.
The Vermont Ski Museum moved from Brandon to Stowe. It is located in the Old Town Hall which was built in 1818 and features a variety of ski memorabilia dating back to the early 1900s.
