We have one of the best winter vacation areas in the world. Experience the beauty and tranquility that winter brings to Stowe. From winter snowmobile vacations to a Ski/Ride Till You Drop holiday at Stowe, Mountainside has it all. With all the beauty Vermont holds we have also been called one of the top 10 romantic vacation spots.

Our quaint, snow-laden New England village is home to Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak at 4,395 feet.

Downhill Skiing & Snowboarding

Mt. Mansfield features some of the finest skiing and riding east of the Rockies. In addition to an average annual snowfall of 333 inches at the summit, Stowe provides superior snowmaking. In all, Stowe Resort offers 39 miles of trails on 486 acres of terrain for skiers and riders of every level. The new terrain park and half-pipe and a great ski and snowboard school complete the Stowe Mountain Resort package.

Mountainside Resort is also located within an hour’s drive to three other Vermont ski resorts.
