Stowe, Vermont, is a classic New England village and the home of Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s tallest and most rugged mountain. Charming and rustic, this world-class resort offers something for everyone: hard skiing, easy skiing, and the best cross-country skiing network in Vermont. This is the history of Stowe, the "Ski Capital of the East" — the mountain, the village, and the people who made it famous — accompanied by spectacular photographs of the mountain from the 1930s through today.
