Stowe 
United States
Arriving in Stowe is an experience – drive through the Green Mountains’ rock-walled passes, under majestic maple trees, into woodsmoke-scented valleys and streets lined with quaint inns and shops. Two of New England’s finest mountains, Mansfield and Spruce Peak, are joined by an inter-mountain transfer gondola, with a deluxe base lodge on one side, steep runs and the “Front Four” double black diamond trails on the other. With 485 acres of skiable terrain, more than 200 miles of cross-country ski trails, some of the finest downhill skiing in the East, and world-class ice-climbing, this is a mecca for endorphin junkies – and home to Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. Don’t leave without taking a Factory Tour and sampling the flavor of the month.
