The town of Stowe, Vermont, straps on its ski heritage with gusto. Inns, shops, and restaurants all proudly display their own private cache of memorabilia. On Main Street, the old meetinghouse is now the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum, filled with old-fashioned lift chairs, retro ski gear, and vintage Burton snowboards.

But there’s much more to the self-proclaimed “Ski Capital of the East,” as writer Annie Graves explains in the January/February 2019 issue of Yankee. There’s also an impressive array of restaurants, artisanal beer and cider makers, a fun downtown shopping scene, and overnight accommodations that hit the sweet spot between low-key and high-end.

To learn more, check out the January/February travel feature “Stowe, Vermont | Could You Live Here?” In the meantime, here are some of our favorite Stowe outtakes by photographer Mark Fleming.

  1. I could read New Today Travel all day! Especially when you have interesting articles , beautiful pictures and delicious recipes from Vermont! Thanks!

  2. Yes, we as Vermonters love Stowe and all of its poetic landscapes. But why does it (and Woodstock) always get the credit? What about the revitilization of Brownsville and Mount Ascutney ski area, or any of the other Vermont town?

  3. I visited in the spring of ‘94 and have yearned to return. I would love to see Stowe snow in person one day.

  4. Winter in Stowe is classic VT. I lived in S. Royalton in the ’50s and can relate to these photos as if I were still there. Thanks for posting them.

  5. We have owned a timeshare week at Trapp Family Guest Houses for 30 or so years, and love our week in Stowe every May. Would love to get up there in the winter sometime!

  6. Stayed at the Field Guide Lodge pictured here, last May. Cool little place. Have to visit the Alchemist Brewery when in Stowe, too.

  7. Such overwhelmingly beautiful snow scenes! I live in the Deep South outside of New Orleans. But I have visted Vermont in the fall.

  8. I love Stowe! We purchased a January week at Trapp Family Lodge in 1985 and now also own weeks in March and October. Doesn’t matter what the weather, but a snowy week is always a bonus!!! We have even converted anew folks who thought they hated winter that winter in Stowe is diwrent!!

  9. Have only seen it in autumn, but I think it is probably beautiful year round judging from these photos. Beautiful.

  10. Spent our honeymoon in Stowe in 1973. Yep, 50 years ago. In the winter too! It was a magical place to be for two young newlyweds. My 68 Mustang did not enjoy the 20 below mornings as much as we did!

  11. Me and my brother were born in my father’s hometown of Burlington, but moved from Vermont to the various Air Force bases we were stationed at. Family lore has it that my brother would claim he was born in Stowe because he thought it was cooler or more recognizable. Burlington and the rest of Vermont ain’t to shabby!
