Well I'm going up to stowe this february vaca and I nonestly cant wait so i was wondering if anyone could give me some inside info on these questions:

Hit the Gondola or Forerunner early and late. Stick to Big Spruce, Lookout Double and the Triple during the middle of the day.

2. What are some of the most interesting trails at Stowe?

Different slopes for different folks. Stowe has it all and if you're there for three days, you'll easily be able to sample everything on the trail map.

3. I kno you dont spill your local secrets online but can you tell what glades get tracked out the fastest.

From my experience, the glades at Stowe tend get tracked out less quickly during vacation weeks. Many locals, those who know where to go, usually don't ski that week as they don't want to deal with the crowds and/or their passes are blacked out.

4. Lastly when do Vermont kids have vaca and does it useally get crowded over vacation?

Most of Vermont has it the same week as the rest of New England, not all though. It will be very crowded.
