All Months
Peak ski season runs January through March, when you'll find the best snow conditions but also the highest prices and biggest crowds. December can be hit-or-miss for snow, but holiday decorations make the village extra magical. Fall foliage season (late September to mid-October) rivals winter for popularity — book months ahead and expect premium rates. But here's a secret: late October after the leaves fall offers crisp hiking weather, lower prices, and way fewer people. Summer brings mountain biking, hiking, and the Stowe Farmers Market every Sunday. The alpine slide and scenic gondola run Memorial Day through Columbus Day, giving you those mountain views without the workout.
