World-class tennis returns to Stowe
Published: Wednesday, May 16, 2007By Ted RyanFree Press Staff Writer

Several of the world's finest women's tennis players will put their skills on display in Vermont when the United States and Russia compete in a Federation Cup semifinal at Topnotch Resort and Spa in Stowe on July 14-15. The United States Tennis Association made the announcement Tuesday, marking the return of elite tennis to Stowe for the first time since the 1980s, when the Head Classic men's tournament brought such stars as Jimmy Connors, Ille Nastase and Ivan Lendl to the Green Mountains. The competition's rosters could include Venus and Serena Williams and reigning U.S. Open champion Maria Sharapova.

This is a major event which will set the tone for the summer. Rooms will go fast so don't wait.

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!!!!
