Vermont is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. It opened in the 1930s on the side of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest mountain (4,395 feet).

Stowe Mountain is famous for its excellent ski school and lessons here are especially recommended for intermediate and advanced skiers. At 2,360 feet, Stowe Mountain resort has one of the longest vertical drops in New England. The long trails from the top of Stowe Mountain range from easy to advanced. The longest run goes for over three and one half miles. Advanced and expert skiers enjoy the legendary “Front Trails” (Goat, Lift Line, National, and Starr).

The trails are serviced by several long, fast lifts, including two high-speed gondolas. Lodges at the bottom of Stowe Mountain have restaurants, bars, and ski school and rental facilities.

Stowe Mountain resort is generally open from November to April, from 8 am to 4 pm weekdays and 7:30 am to 4 pm on weekends. Skiers have the option of renting a suite at the Mountainside Resort at Stowe if they want to go on a longer ski session. The units (which are actually timeshares that are rented out by the week when they aren’t being used) are spacious enough to fit large ski parties and can include a variety of amenities such as a fireplace, kitchen, living room with a sleeper sofa and multiple bedrooms. Limited night skiing goes from 5 to 9 pm on Saturdays from late December until mid-March. About 75% of the terrain is covered by snowmaking, so snow is reliable even in dry winters.
