Stowe Opens its Luxury Hotel: The Capstone of the $400 Million Complex

I miss the old "Mountain Road Motel" at Stowe. I believe it's now called the Mountain Road Resort.

We used to stay there 20 years ago when it was just a room to sleep in. The amenities were a lodge with some evening wine and a fireplace and an outdoor hottub.

I forget what the prices were, but they weren't much.

I stayed at the mountain road resort for two night closing weekend at Stowe and it was great..nice rooms and I only paid $80 per night..and free hors d'oerves wine/beer during happy hour..way nicer than the Town and Country across the street. Mid winter is about $120-$150 a night..not too bad..

taft is still 5 dollars a night on the honor system (in winter) and has a better view and no crowds.

With the accuracy of New England forecasts, I think a window works better!

Since I was in the area, I drove by the Lodge Saturday night. Just before getting there (less than 1/2 mile) I was practically driven off the road by an out of state Escalade

who ultimately succeeded in pulling into the parking lot a whole 20 seconds ahead of me. I guess the road to the lodge is no longer a place for a practical Corolla

. I think the rich jerk factor is going to continue to get worse in this region of VT.
Anyways, the lodge is MASSIVE. It was hard to get a real good look at everything since it was dark, but it is certainly a giant leap (pick your direction) in New England resort development.

pffft. Anyone who is anyone knows that the best place for Northern VT weather updates in the winter is either the NWS Burlington website or Scott Braaten (aka Powderfreak) on SKIVT-L. Weather Channel is a great place to go for gardening tips and scare stories though.

All you need is a computer and a modem.

GSS is certainly not just anyone.
