Stowe is something of a symbol of American ski destinations - a four-season resort with a history as colorful as its countryside. Visitors have been coming here since the Green Mountain Inn opened on Main Street in 1848. Winter is king, but summers are packed with activities and people visit from all over the world to see the town's fabled sights.
