As the season starts and more snow falls it’s important to brush up on and refresh your backcountry skiing decisions.  The North Face along and Teton Gravity Research teamed up to do a five part series Know Boundaries.

This five part series is a good reminder of what’s important when you are skiing or riding in the backcountry.  It addresses things from snow safety to avalances.  Take the time to watch this series before the season gets in full swing.

One of the wonderful things about Stowe is the thriving artist community and the support the it gets from the Helen Day Art Center.  For the past 20 years Stowe has hosted Exposed! the annual outdoor sculpture exhibition, which features sculptures from over 20 national and international artist.

On display throughout town and on the bike path, the sculptures add to the natural beauty of Stowe.  Opening on July 8th, the sculptures will be on display through October 8th.  Many of the sculptures can been seen early as they are being installed.

Spring has finally started to show it’s face around town. The snow has melted away, we had a beautiful Easter Sunday afternoon and the bike path is clear for use.

We enjoyed slightly warmer temperatures yesterday which increased into the evening. I was very pleased not to wake up to rain as I had my 4 grandchildren, 2 of their cousins and a few close friends with children over for an Easter egg hunt. It was nice enough that the kids actually played outside while we enjoyed our Easter brunch.

Here is a picture of Little Harper Mae Eliason enjoying the hunt!

Hi Everyone,

Well the past week has been one that has pushed the snow plow drivers to the brink, giving us 40 inches of new snow in one week.  While many of us are starting to think about Spring and Summer, there’s still some good skiing left at Stowe.

The crowds are down and the deals are out, along with the sun and fun of spring skiing.  If you’re looking to get a few more turns in this year, Stowe is the place to be.  The soft corn snow along with sunglasses and lighter layers make for memorable final days on the mountain.

Take advantage of the end of the year lift ticket deals being offered by the Mountain:

 St. Patrick’s Day

Good weather also means looking at houses and land is not only warmer, but easier to view.  Leave the snowshoes in the car and take a stroll around the property with just your boots!  Call us today to arrange a showing or to take some final runs of the year with Peggy or McKee.

As many of you know we hit a 3 year temperature low here in Stowe last weekend. It was cold enough to keep my die hard skier-daughter indoors on Sunday. But as this weekend draws near we are seeing the weather warm up.  I’ve actually seen some snow melting out there. We expect to get some more snow for the weekend and all-in-all it should be a great time to get outside and ski, snowshoe or xc.

We hope to see you here!

Although the January thaw has come very early this year, we’re still hopeful that snow is on its way. We received about three inches of snow yesterday and expect more over the weekend. That should get us in good shape for the Tour de Snow event over MLK weekend. The volunteers involved with the Tour de Stowe (taking place of the Stowe Rec Path, which is fully groomed for xc skiing this year) have put together a ton of fun events from paint ball to yoga to a winter farmers market. It’s a great way to check out what Stowe has to offer and enjoy the fun of being outside. So grab you snowshoes, xc gear or just your snow boots and join in.

We hope to see you out there!
