Stowe stands beneath Mount Mansfield at 1,339 m, the highest point in Vermont, and counts as the oldest resort in New England - the first trails were cut here in the 1930s. The mountain has its own legend: the Front Four - Goat, Starr, National and Liftline - narrow steep cuts on the front face that have served as a benchmark for eastern skiers for decades. The second mountain, Spruce Peak, is calmer and given over to families, with a gondola between them. The town below is postcard Vermont: a white steepled church, maple syrup and the autumn colour that brings people here in other seasons.

What visitors say about the resort

The praise is for the variety and the grooming: long intermediate cruisers, serious expert terrain, good glades and fast lifts. The ski school and children's facilities are rated among the best in New England, and Stowe village itself is the prettiest resort town in Vermont.

Queues and prices draw criticism: this is the only northern Vermont resort on the Epic pass, and at peak times its lift lines are called the longest in the state, while roads and car parks jam - an early start is the usual advice. The famous Front Four are genuinely hard runs, but the resort is cautious about opening them and often does not.
