Will Stowe be crowded on coming Saturday?

[New Daddy]

I've gone through the trip reports to gauge the possible crowd for the coming Saturday, but couldn't find much.
One thread mentioned crowd on the President Day weekend, but every resort was busy on that weekend.
Will Stowe have long lift lines on the coming Saturday?
(If people still favor this place after the life ticket price has been jacked up to $84, I wonder what it was like before.)

Count it being very crowded. Tail end of the VT/NH school vacays and there is going to be snow this week. Maybe some of the people will get caught up in snow traveling and won't make, for your benefit.

In a word: yes. It is a Saturday, it is March, it snowed, and it is Stowe. I talked with the salesguy in January when I was skiing there...he said every Saturday they have many tourbuses come. It's going to be busy almost at any resort on Saturday.

....best bet for shorter liftlines if you're heading that far will be Sugarbush

Yes..get there for first chair on the Forerunner quad at 7:30AM and you can get alot of runs in before the masses..then move over to the Gondola.and Spruce peak and follow the sun..It's prime time for Stowe..until late March..and then crowds drop off for April..

I am at Stowe now, and will be through Saturday. Yesderday was very quiet there....shhhh. Gondola lodge was so quiet, some folks were napping. Skiing was very good. Trees were descent also, a little thin crust below the snow that was falling all day.

Just woke up, looks like we got 5 more overnight here in the village, I am sure the mountain got more. I see on radar that the second wave is soon to arrive, snowing lightly out now.
