Stowe, Vermont for Best Ski Town
What makes the best ski town? According to USA TODAY, “For some, it’s having access to fantastic restaurants, bars, and shops. For others, it’s about great accommodation options, a small-town vibe, or a historic atmosphere” according to USA TODAY. Stowe, Vermont has all of these in addition to world-class options for both downhill, Nordic and backcountry skiers. “Steepled churches and clapboard houses make Stowe a quintessential New England ski town.” Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat, an adventure-filled getaway or a little bit of both, Stowe’s iconic views, small-town charm and endless activities are calling! Stowe has been voted among the USA TODAY 10Best Ski Towns every year since 2018.
