Skip’s first pick for summer fun?

Stowe, VT

While Stowe is well-known as the winter sports capital of the East, there are also a lot of ways to have fun on the mountain that don’t require snow.

Ride your bike!

Get your bike and gear in tow, head north and ride. There is nothing like riding along on a Vermont back road; hearing the birds singing, the breeze blowing through the trees and inhale the myriad smells as you move through the countryside. You will work hard at times as you make your way up some of the hill sides but the joy of cruising down the other side and the totally relaxed feeling you will have at the end of your day make it all worth while. If you need some help planning your ride, check Stowe’s web site for details. www.stowe.com

Take a Drive!

Drive your car up the historic auto Toll Road that zigs and zags its way to the summit ridge of Mt. Mansfield. Stunning views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains await you. Take your family for a drive.

Ride the Alpine Slide or the Gondola!

Experience an exhilarating 2,300 foot ride down Spruce Peak on the Stowe Alpine Slide. Fun and excitement for all ages! Climb a rock wall - or
Take the easy way up in the famous Stowe gondola. Spectacular views await you near the peak of Vermont's highest mountain. From the gondola, access hiking trails or stop for a bite in the lift summit snack bar. Whatever you do, we hope you will have an amazing time.
