Things to Do, Inside Line

Here is a calendar of events for the summer that will be happening at the new Stowe Mountin Lodge and around the Spruce Peak area. Enjoy and when you are in Stowe please stop be just for a chat.

Stowe Mountain Lodge Up and Running
Two weeks have now passed since Stowe Mountain Lodge opened its welcoming doors to the public and it is starting to feel like home for the enthusiastic staff. Both Solstice Restaurant and the Hourglass bar have drawn in a fair number of curious locals and by all reports it has been an inspiriting experience. All of the summer attractions are open, highlighted by the Gondola Sky Ride to the Cliff House and the always popular Alpine Sli! de. This weekend on Saturday, the Stowe Garden Festival will focus on Stowe Mountain Lodge with a series of activities designed for encouraging visitors to discover these new amenities. July 4th is just around the corner and that marks the traditional beginning of Stowes peak summer season. There is a lot of interesting activity going on all around town these days. So much to see and do, so little time..

SPRUCE PEAK SUMMER PROJECT
Spruce Peak at StoweMore and more the hotel is starting it feel like it has been there awhile. The landscape details on the entranceway that faces toward Mount Mansfield are settling in nicely and there is virtually nothing left to be completed on the exterior fagade. The pool at the Spa is complete and the kids programs are up and running for hotel guests. The Stowe Mountain Club golf course, an 18-hole course designed by Bob Cupp, is open for hotel guests. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are being served in the Solstice Restaurant, and what better way to enjoy New Englands ! favorite team, the Red Sox, than on the high-definition screen found in the Hourglass bar. This weekend, the hotel will play host to several events that are part of the 16th annual Stowe Garden Festival.
