School ski trips to Stowe
Our groups love this quintessential New England resort, which has skiing on Vermont’s tallest peak, Mount Mansfield. Described as a ‘skier’s paradise’ Stowe is one of the state’s most expansive and modern resorts, giving school groups a superb skiing experience. Stowe’s slopes are served by state-of-the-art lifts and superb snowmaking facilities. Off the slopes, your group could be scoring strikes in the bowling alley, skating across the ice-rink and eating ice-cream in the town of Waterbury where Ben and Jerry’s originated.
Features
For beginners there’s an entire mountain, Spruce Peak, criss-crossed with easygoing runs which is a perfect base to learn and progress. Once confident, instructors will lead them to the top of Mt Mansfield from where they can ski almost four miles down Toll Road, a fabulous long green which snakes through the trees.
