Stowe Mountain Resort Reviews

its a good hill

• had good expert
• not cheep

Great place to ski / ride , should be a limit of skiers/riders on mountain at one time and not just focus on how much money that could be made when will this stop and when will the safety of the public become the important factor

• Nice ski area
• I’ve been sking my Mansfield for almost 50 years, epic has brought many more skiers to the resort witch has resulted in overcrowding and dangerous conditions for skiers , there should be laws protecting the public from such conditions people heal

This is the best ski resort ever!!!!

• Everything
• Nothing

Stowe has good terrain variety and good grooming capabilities when conditions are icy, but it’s often icy. Lift lines move pretty well.

• Snow is good as it gets on the East Coast.
• Often icy.

Didn’t have the most snow when we went but still a good time. I’ve been in the pst and have always enjoyed. Lines can stack up if the conditions are good so be weary of that though.

We skied two days in Stowe and two in Killington. Stowe has fewer lifts but much longer trails. All our family members preferred Stowe. Killington was busier, and half of the trails were closed. Stowe was mostly open, and you get much more skiing in a day. Stowe gondolas and lifts are of a great quality and they all have footrest. There were no queues. Stowe had a lot of snow. The chairlift and the gondola are not well connected and people walk between them.

Nice terrain for beginners nice views but it is small compared to park city and snowbird

• Love the views nice Terrain
• Small mountain

Great location in Vermont

• Great mountain when the conditions are good
• Parking can be a problem

While the mountain is amazing and the the lifts put you on mountain fast the staff and the resort soured the experience. Spent 6 ski days at the Lodge at Spruce Peak. The hotel staff were a fail with exception of the bell staff, room cleaning staff and the valets. The restaurants in the village were awful and I have a door stop I got to take home which they tried to pass off as a pork chop. A few miles down the road there are other options but for a drink or food after skiing it feels like extortion. The lift attendants were not attentive often on phones. The way they scanned the passes at the entrance of the lift line ropes made the flow of the day a downer. Often standing in front of you and blocking momentum. The people participating in racing were aggressive. Being cut several times in lift lines and several close calls on the slopes with race participants was frustrating. It felt like my ticket to ski was not the same as the one they bought if you get my drift. Haven’t been to Stow in 10 years previous to this Valentines week 23. Won’t be back for at least 10 more. Should have gone to Killington. I ski between 15 and 30 days a year and have been skiing for 40 years at 44. This was a family vacation with my wife and son. I am a advanced skier and I do feel 6 days in a row more than ever.

• Terrain, lift speed and grooming are among the best in the east.
• Lazy staff. On there phones several times whil waiting to scan my pass. When the lines are short the lift attendants stop you at the beginning of the coral to scan your pass instead of at the end where you naturally come to a stop. Terrible music, opinion

Vail operations can't seem to keep the lifts running. Have heard excuse "need a part to get the lift running" more times than reasonable. New parking fee doesn't make me happy but they seem to be doing a good job running shuttle service from the free lots.

• Great trails
• Overrun on weekends
