Stowe, VT offers year round activities, one of the major draws in this area aside from Stowe Mt. Resort and The Trapp Family Lodge, is the the rec path.
The rec path is 11 miles long and runs from the center of Stowe Village up towards Mt. Mansfield, ending near Topnotch Resort. The path follows the West Branch River and the Mt. Road.
It is great for biking, walking, running in the summer and cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. There are plenty of swimming holes located along the path.
The path is fun for all ages and there are places to stop and eat along the way so you can fully experience all Stowe has to offer. During the summer the Helen Day Art Center hosts Exposed in Stowe, an outdoor art exhibit along the path.
Running next to the paved Rec Path, is the Quiet Path, which is for walking and quiet enjoyment of the natural surroundings, it’s also great for walking your dog off the leash.

Although this was a very mild winter by anyone’s standards and it seems like we’ve been spring skiing since New Years, spring skiing truly arrived this past weekend. Temps rose well into the 50′s and the blue birds were singing all day long. Stowe has a deep base, over 30 inches, so the conditions have held up and will continue to right through the end of March.

The harsh winters in Vermont make taking care of winter weather damage very important. If you are selling in the winter it’s smart to look over your house and identify areas that might be potential problems. If you are a buyer beware that buying in the winter poses home inspection issues that may not be visible during the summer months.
