Northern Lights Lodge is decent and cheap but the owner wouldn't refund my non-refundable $318 a few years ago so I'm not sure about staying there again just on principle. He held a room for you and you decided that you wanted to visit Colorado instead... that's not his fault. I may just book there because he stood by his rules....clearly a man of principle. 2 1 Quote

Didn’t you receive a small discount for booking a non refundable reservation? I usually stayed at the town and country hotel in Stowe. Quote

I can but the Best Western is pretty far from the mountain to be driving my Sonic in 15 inches of snow, so I'll look for somewhere close to the mountain. Plus the Best Western is at the top of an insanely steep hill which is going to be a pain. Edited January 31, 2022 by saltyant Quote

Once your in town I don't remember much super steeps on the way up the road just a slow climb and there are 383828282 places to stay there. You can be at the base if you stay at the Hyatt at Spruce Goose. 1 Quote

The road from town to the resort is easy.I had a mail drop in Stowe proper on my LT hike and I had to hike back to my hotel near the resort cause none of those elitest front platers would give me a ride...Only time I ever got skunked trying to hitch in VT... 1 Quote

Stowe is such a good place but it has changed alot and it's not nearly as "core" since AIG got it and put in spruce to get that sweet family $$$$$. The day a hiker can't get a ride in VT is super sad but even VT has gone a bit corporate. 1 Quote

In college I picked up hitchhikers a few times in the town of Stowe and given them a ride to the mountain. I’ve also hitch hiked in Colorado and Montana 1 Quote

saltyant Posted January 31, 2022 Author Report Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Wrapped it up before 4 pm today, everything got icy once the clouds rolled in. Conditions were nice in the morning and mid afternoon. Favorite runs were Liftline, Perry Merrill, and Slalom Hill. Worst run was Sterling which was one of my favorites last time, but the cover was thin throughout and I almost ate it on pure ice Edited January 31, 2022 by saltyant 1 Quote
