stowe vermont ski resort

Stowe Mountain Resort is a ski resort in the town of Stowe, Vermont in the Northeastern United States. It comprises Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. Mount Mansfield, the location of the intermediate and advanced ski trails, is the tallest mountain in Vermont with its summit being 4,393 feet (1,339 m) above sea level. The resort is primarily owned by the insurance firm AIG which purchased it in 1988.

There are 116 trails altogether on Spruce Peak and Mount Mansfield to provide 39 miles (63 km) (485 acres (1.96 km²)) of skiable terrain.

The resort had $37 million worth of taxable receipts for winter 2007-8, placing it a close second to Killington ($37.3 million) in Vermont.

History

The sport came to Vermont when the Great Depression caused the government under Franklin Delano Roosevelt to form the CCC. The Vermont division of the CCC cut the first trails on Mount Mansfield in 1933.

Ski Area Information

The ski area is composed of two main areas. These are Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. Mount Mansfield is the intermediate and expert terrain area and Spruce Peak is almost entirely composed of beginner terrain with some intermediate terrain on "Upper Spruce" which can only be accessed by the Sensation Lift. Stowe Mountain Resort is famous for the "Front Four". The Front Four trails are Goat, Starr, National and Liftline. These are all ♦♦ runs, the most difficult rating at Stowe. These can be accessed by both the "Lookout Double" and the "Forerunner Quad" and fall on the southern part of the skiable terrain at Mount Mansfield. The next major area is the Gondola area. This features a high speed gondola that can hold 8 and services the runs Gondolier, Perry Merill (named after the father of Vermont skiing), Chin Clip as well as the Cliff Trail which transfers skiers from the Gondola area to the Front Four area. The final area is the Toll House Area which is the beginner portion of Mount Mansfield and can only be accessed from the main mountain via the trail Toll Road. The resort has two lodges and is undergoing an expansion project that will cost $400 Million. It is currently open as of June 2008. Construction will not be completely done for another few years. Management has announced that the new base lodge will be open for the 2008-09 ski season.
