Winter Sports & Activities
Known as the “Ski Capital of the East,” Stowe is a premier destination for winter adventure. At Stowe Mountain Resort, skiers and snowboarders can carve down legendary slopes with trails suited for all levels, from gentle cruisers to challenging expert runs. Beyond downhill skiing, Stowe offers an incredible range of winter fun—cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking, and even dog sledding provide endless ways to enjoy the snowy landscape.
Not all winter activities need to be high adrenaline. Families can go ice skating in the village, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through snow-covered fields, or cozy up by the fire after a day in the crisp mountain air. With its perfect blend of outdoor adventure and small-town charm, winter in Stowe is as magical as it is exhilarating.
