XC Country Skiing
Snowshoeing
Downhill Skiing at Mt. Mansfield
Professional ski lessons for all levels are available. If conditions permit, a vast array of backcountry trails will be open. Downhill ski resorts are also nearby and accessible by taking the Stowe trolley. If you want to try other winter sports, check the snowshoeing, snowmobiling and ice skating areas, all of which are accessible by the trolley. The trolley, which is free, stops at our hotel front door, downtown Stowe and the ski areas. We stay at the Commodores Inn, which is within walking distance of Stowe Village. Its amenities include Jacuzzis, saunas, an indoor swimming pool and exercise rooms. It has a great dining room and lounge area with a fireplace that makes a perfect setting for after ski get-togethers. Next door to Commodores is the Umiak Ski Shop. They rent ski equipment and offer snowshoe guided tours which include a moonlit walk with wine & cheese at a rustic barn among others. Trip includes: roundtrip motor coach transportation to Stowe and back, transportation to and from the cross-country ski areas, 3 nights lodging, welcome cookies & cider upon arrival, 3 breakfasts, Sat & Sun dinner, wine & cheese reception on Saturday evening and a box lunch on Monday for return trip. Also includes tax and gratuities.
TWO BUS PICKUP LOCATIONS: Departure from Stowe on Monday at 1:15 pm with approximate arrival at 9:00 pm including a rest break.
