The town lies on Vermont Routes 108 and 100. It is nicknamed "The Ski Capital of the East" and is home to Stowe Mountain Resort, a ski facility with terrain on Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont, and Spruce Peak. Stowe Mountain Resort is a ski resort in the northeastern United States, near the town of Stowe in northern Vermont, comprising two separate mountains: Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. The lift-served vertical drop of Mount Mansfield is 2,360 feet (719 m), the fifth largest in New England and the fourth largest in Vermont. HistoryAlpine skiing came to Vermont when the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) cut the first trails on Mount Mansfield in 1933. The National Ski Patrol was based on the Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol, the oldest in the nation founded in 1934. Stowe Mountain was also the first ski area in Vermont to have a single chair, which was installed by American Steel & Wire Company in 1940. Stowe was the second area in New England to have a chairlift, the first being Gunstock in 1937. The "Mansfield Single", was the first lift in the Mansfield area. Stowe Mountain Resort was long owned in its entirety by the Mount Mansfield Company. It in turn was owned since 1949 by insurance mogul C.V. Starr, founder of the American International Group. AIG became the primary owner in 1988, until selling ski-related operations and facilities at the resort to Vail Resorts on February 21, 2017. AIG and the Mount Mansfield Company will retain the Stowe Mountain Lodge, Stowe Mountain Club, Stowe Country Club and other real estate owned and held for potential future development. Terrain and LiftsThe average annual snowfall at the resort summit is approximately 224 inches (570 cm). The ski area is composed of Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. Some 116 trails on Spruce Peak and Mount Mansfield provide 40 miles of skiable terrain. Stowe has a total of 10 chairlifts. There are 6 on the Mansfield side, and 4 on the Spruce Peak side. The Over Easy gondola connects both areas of the mountain. 1968 Spruce Peak Chairlift & Skiers, Stowe, Lamoille County, VT Postcard Posted Vintage VTG
