A Place Where Rich History Abounds

While Stowe is a destination on the map where visitors will find reasons to visit in every season, it’s hard to overlook the fact that it comes to life in stunning style each winter when the fresh powder falls. This is something that’s rung true here for years with travelers heading this way in the winter to enjoy the robust snowfall starting pack in the early 1900s. Today, Stowe is often referred to as the “Ski Capital of the East,” but it’s reputation for downhill excellence dates back to 1921 when initial plans were put in place to turn Stowe into a mecca for ski enthusiasts. These ideas came about during discussions between members of the local Civic Club who wanted to enhance the annual Winter Carnival experience. At that time, the winter carnival saw around 1,000 attendees each year coming to Stowe to enjoy the snow, skate, and toboggan together. Ideas for how to advance Stowe’s ski culture continued to advance through public forums and by the 1930s Charlie Lord was charged with creating the iconic Nose Dive Trail for the Civilian Conservation Corps group. Later, Lord would create the Bruce Trail which would become Stowe’s very first racing trail on the mountain. With time, lift lines were established on Mount Mansfield and 1940 saw the arrival of an official Ski Club in the area too. As more visitors came each winter to take advantage of the new ski-focused amenities in town, entertainment venues, hotels, and restaurants began to appear in abundance as well.

Stowe’s popularity as a top-rated ski destination on the map only continued to grow and by 1997, plans were put in place to begin developing a luxury lodge that would match the wonder and appeal of the slopes. Phase one development began in 2008, and phase two of construction went into effect in 2010. A full alpine village was completed on-site for the 2016/2017 winter season, much to the delight of locals and visitors alike. While it was originally named Stowe Mountain Lodge, The Lodge at Spruce Peak was eventually renamed and is a premier hospitality destination in Stowe today that features 312 rooms, 34 fractional units, and a 20,000 square foot spa and wellness center in addition to local retail outlets and meeting space.
