End of Ski Season

The Stowe Mountain Resort confirmed this afternoon that Sunday the 29th of April will be the last day for the lifts to run. Snow is still deep on the mountain but with about 5 days over 50 of which two exceeded 75 degrees this week the snow is melting quickly. The forecast for this weekend is cloudy with few showers and temps in the high 50's to low 60's. This means early morning will be the best time to ski and ride, unless you like real soft snow.
Either way skiing should be excellent early each day. this past weekend it was OUTSTANDING. I skiied Thursday, Friday & Sunday and each day just got better.
At this time the golf course is scheduled to open May 5. The time between seasons this year will be short as it should be. Golf in the early part of the year is great, no one on the course so you can try a redo if you wish most of the time.

Spring has Sprung

Well, spring has finally arrived. Skiing still great, made 6 runs Thursday & 4 Friday. Need to get there early before the sun hits it hard. Temperatures at 8AM was 38 and at noon it is 71. Mountain will close on or after the 29th of April. At this time there is more snow at this late date than I have seen in 20+ years. The entire mountain could be operating if the business was here.
If you are planning a vacation this summer let Stowe Realty know and we can give you information about dates of special events, what the weather will likely be like (somewhat of a guess based on past performance) and other happenings.
Please let us know if we can help you in any way. Hope your vacation is a pleasant one!!!!

Spring in Stowe

Snow keeps coming and it looks like the Sugar Houses will operate until July. Wow, what great skiing for early April.

Spring Skiing & Riding

Only 40 degrees today with a little coudy on top but what a fantastic day of skiing. Still 84 inches of snow at the gauge on top of the mountain and big crowds for this time of year.
If you enjoy good skiing get to Stowe in the next 3-4 weeks. Tomorrow is perdicted to be sunny & in the 40's so we will enjoy.

Spring Skiing, Summer Plans & Maple Syrup

Skied 10 runs today, weather was great, about 27 degrees and overcast. The sun will be with us tomorrow and 35 degrees.
Talk in the air about maple sap run which all the farmers are getting ready for. They are in their sugar woods making sure the taps and lines did not get damaged during the storms last week. Give us about 3 days of 40 degree weather and it will start running. Could be within the next week but likely will be the middle to end of March.
If you have never visited a syrup making operation you should put it on your list of things to do. If you want suggestions of where to visit give me a shout out.
Its not to early to start to think about summer vacation in Stowe. If you want to rent for a month or two, which many people do, please plan ahead and give us a call or email.
