The Tour de Stowe is a non-competitive tour to challenge your endurance. The course features skiing through the von Trapp Outdoor Center trails and Stowe Mountain Resort Cross-Country Center system (with some trails that are off the beaten path). Fuel up with cider and a refreshment stop at the cabin. Skiers under 17 can enjoy a supported ski with special treats, and return to the warmth of the Yurt. Participants are invited to a post-ski gathering in the von Trapp Bierhall with snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. There will be a cash bar offering the award-wining Trapp lager. Stay for the raffle too!
The hills truly are alive! Skiing, friends, delicious food and a community celebration in the Bierhall are certainly a few of our favorite things and we look forward to seeing you!
Proceeds go to the Stowe Nordic Foundation and will support youth nordic programs in Vermont.
