Stowe Thread

Which route?
There are several some more reliable than others.

 

[Apple Country]

Forgive me, but the mountain road shuttle, maybe the main one? I'm not sure what the name is: https://gostowe.com/transportation-in-stowe/

We are staying at Stoweflake some weekend.

Sunrise, Christie & Birch 'official' glades are all a good starting point to progress toward the steeper and tighter trees elsewhere on Mansfield. Also lots of opportunity to get a few tree turns in - by cutting in between the blues and greens over on this side.

Awesome thanks, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I used to have a link to an article with all of Stowes sidecountry but it seems to have been nuked from the internet. Don’t want to get into anything too crazy when I’m there and FatMap is mostly intense runs.

The glades to the skiers left of Lower National are low angle and excellent as well. Enjoy!

When did they shut them down? I was on the quad and Gondi all day left at 2 and they were still going. I was shocked that they kept running them today. I almost didnt go this morning but followed my rule, alway show up as yo never know what will await you!

 

[hovercraft]

Still plenty of pow to be found

I had a ton of fun yesterday. Trees off the front were skiing excellent. Skiers left of Starr has awesome fun.

I got real cold and headed over to Spruce. Ive not skied over there since I was a kid. I feel like its underrated and considered the jerry area but theres some great old school trails and the trees I got into were mostly untracked. Next time I'll definitely spend my afternoon over there after lapping the quad

Spruce had excellent trails, you’d be high as a kite to say otherwise, IMO. Most of my Stowe trips have been late season so it’s usually shut down. One trip I caught it open and was very surprised how much fun it was.

 

[Kingslug20]

Theres a lot over at spruce..a lot closed for whatever reason..under the sensation is good..whirlaway off sterling is fun..

 

[kendo]

Sensation closes 3/27 this year. Great area. Never ever crowded and where I spend a lot of time!

 

[Kingslug20]

Just read about an avalanche in the backcountry off gondi thst nailed 2 people..

 

[Kingslug20]

No major injuries..stowe mountain rescue got them..

 

[kendo]

Wondering if Hayride is going to have the same fate as 44/Westway at Hunter?

Mgmt waiting for natural snow to fill in. Too costly to cover with snow when the majority of other black runs are open.

 

[deadheadskier]

My strategy for Stowe on weekends has always been start at the 4runner for opening bell, get two runs in there, move over to the Gondola when that opens for a few, then cross the street for lunch and middle of the day skiing. Work in reverse on the way back to finish my day on 4Runner when the crowds die down.

That obviously would change a bit now with the even start times for the quad and gondola. Well I'd also need an Epic Pass again, but that ain't happening again unless I see massive improvements in NH.

It's official....well, at least Vail has filed for the permit. Mountain Triple is getting replaced by a $5.2 million Doppelmayr six pack.

More people..less trails
Thats...a catchy motto...
