Dashing through the snow is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in the wintertime, get some exercise, and have fun all at the same time! Our resort offers ample terrain where you can snowshoe on your own or with a scheduled group tour. Whether with a group or out on your own, we’ll help you plan a route that suits your experience and confidence. Snowshoeing is dependent on snow accumulation and weather conditions. Contact the Outdoor Center for trail reports and changes to scheduled tours.

Head for the backcountry for an extraordinary Stowe skiing experience. If you've advanced to a place where skiing on groomed trails is a bit boring, we have just the thing for you. On our 2,500 acres, we've identified 25 miles of perfect territory for laying tracks on un-groomed snow. Backcountry gear rentals are available, with 24-hour advance notice. If you're new to backcountry skiing, we can get you started with rentals and assistance from our expert staff.
You can rent skis and snowshoes right here at von Trapp Family Lodge & Resorts Outdoor Center. We also offer lessons for adults and children of all skill levels, so make sure to sign up when you book your stay in Stowe. To schedule a lesson, please call the Ski Shop at 802-253-5755.
