Spruce Peak /Stowe

Spruce Peak /Stowe

We went just before the official season started (the week before), but there was plenty of snow and several lifts were open. My 5-year-old went to ski school for 2 days and had a fabulous time. He'd never been on skis before and he loved it - it was practically private lessons, since the mountain was so empty, and the staff was very child-friendly. One day we skied with him and put our 21-month-old in CUBS daycare for a half day and everything was seamless. Again, very friendly staff - she didn't want to leave. We were concerned the mountain would be too boring for us, having skied several times before, but it was much more than a bunny slope - there were green circle and blue square runs as well and three chair lifts. Plus, the mountain is minutes from Mt. Mansfield for more difficult skiing, so you can use the childcare and ski school facilities here and ski there easily. It is a bit pricy, as skiing goes, and the lodge needs updating (they're just starting to do just that, I hear), but the area is lovely. I really recommend going just before the season gets going - i.e., early December.
