While summer typically brings gorgeous sunny days and winter brings more than its fair share of snow, Stowe is a four-season destination with things to do inside and out. Winter recreation put Stowe on the map as a travel destination, so if alpine skiing is your jam, head to Stowe between January and March. I love winter, but I'm not a downhill skier. My favorite time to visit Stowe is between June and October, which is a pretty huge window of opportunity for outdoor recreation. Stowe is one of the top fall-foliage destinations in the USA, so if you're thinking of an October visit, start planning yesterday, and be prepared for crowded trails, roads, and restaurants — and expensive lodging. Summer, while still busy, is a much more manageable time to visit, especially if you come during the week. There are so many ways to enjoy summer in Stowe — swimming holes, ice cream cones, bustling patios, and gorgeous mountain trails.
