Welcome to Stowe
Established in 1763, Stowe is an active community, playing host to numerous arts and crafts shows, a balloon festival. The community has a vibrant tourism economy in both summer and winter. During the winter months, skiers flock to Vermont's tallest peak with access to over 100 trails defending Mt. Mansfield (Vermont's tallest mountain) and other peaks in the Green Mountain range. In summer, numerous full service resorts along with inns and intimate B & B's offer guests a respite.

Stowe-pendous Adventures
Arguably the most renowned ski resort and town in Vermont, Stowe
recently became even more epic. Vail Resorts, the premier mountain resort
company in the world, acquired this historic property, making it their first
move toward establishing a presence in the northeast.
Stowe Mountain Resort, located just north of the historic village of the same name, has been welcoming skiers since 1933. (The National Ski Patrol was founded here in 1934.) Comprised of two separate mountains, Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont, and Spruce Peak, there’s plenty of skiable terrain and vertical feet to entice skiers and snowboarders of all levels. With Vail Resorts at the helm, Stowe will likely experience all kinds of improvements from the addition of more trails and lifts to better snowmaking and grooming. Not to mention on-mountain dining and shopping! Look out, Stowe’s already reaching new summits as one of the most dynamic ski resorts in North America.
Shopping, Touring and Tasting Waterbury
Situated in central Vermont at the intersection of three scenic routes, Waterbury woos visitors and locals alike with its wide variety of shopping, touring and tasting. Plan to come to this crossroad of Vermont along the Winooski River on an empty stomach and allow yourself to graze your way through some of Vermont’s tastiest treats. (Cows aren’t the only ones known for grazing in Vermont.) Plan to stock up, too, on a carload of Vermont-made goodies that will remind you of your trip once back home. (It’s also a great place to shop for gifts galore.)
Downtown Waterbury boasts many favorite food and drink emporiums and stores including Prohibition Pig and Stowe Street Emporium. For more extensive foodie touring, you’ll want to head out along Route 100, often referred to as the Stowe Road. Ben & Jerry’s was one of the first to establish the tour and taste theme of the area and they remain one of the biggest destinations in Waterbury, if not all of Vermont. (Who doesn’t like ice cream?) Enjoy a half-hour factory tour from late May through December, find out how the yummy goods are made and how this progressive company continually strives to bring about change. Indulge in ice cream and gifts year-round and top off your visit to the Flavor Graveyard where you can weep over the de-pinted flavors that have been retired–it’s a hoot!
VT Country Shopping in Stowe
Country stores embody the rural, old fashioned,
we-can-outfit-you-for-any-occasion spirit of Vermont. Some of the best may be
found in and around Stowe along with an array of country-like specialized shops
that make you feel miles away from the local mall (you are, in fact) or an
online shopping experience (heavens to Betsy). If you’re into charm and
authenticity, you’ll love visiting Stowe’s many and varied shopping emporiums.
