Entertainment in Stowe is not limited to alpine skiing and snowboarding. There are plenty of trails for cross-country ski enthusiasts. In addition, visitors can enjoy snowmobile rides, horseback riding, or sleigh rides. There is also a large ice rink. Besides winter activities, guests can have fun bowling, playing tennis, or swimming in the pool.
The resort is famous for its winter carnivals and sporting events. Every January, the traditional Stowe Winter Carnival takes place — a colorful celebration featuring ice sculptures, shows, parades, and snow competitions. In February, Stowe hosts the Stowe Derby — a legendary cross-country and downhill ski race — as well as the Mountain Adventure Fest Tour de Stowe. These are among the oldest events at the resort. In April, to mark the end of the season, tourists can enjoy the lively Stowe Snow Beach Party and Sugar Slalom.
