Posted: Nov 04, 2005 - 5:16 AM GMT My family and I are staying in Magog, Quebec for a week of skiing (a dream vacation paid for by selling my old Star Wars collection on ebay, but that's another story). We plan to ski a different area each day (Orford, Sutton, Jay), and we definitely want to include Stowe. I need some advice about the driving route. What's the best approach to Stowe's skiing from the Newport, VT area? Should we drive to the town of Stowe and then fight the traffic to the ski area, or should we squeeze through Smuggler's Notch and approach the ski area from the northwest where, presumably, there would be less traffic? Thanks, Woody __________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." |

Thanks, Woody It's a pretty easy choice since the Notch is closed in the winter although there would definately be less traffic  __________ facebook.com/profile.php?id=1454198707#!/pages/American-Photoart-Gallery/90884206988 |

Posted: Nov 04, 2005 - 10:22 AM GMT Yeah, the only way through the notch in winter is on foot. You should head through Morrisville and come down Rt.100 to Stowe from the north. I really doubt there will be a traffic jam of any appriciable size. I want to hear how Star Wars stuff funds a ski trip. And why did you pick the east? __________ Embrace that which you fear |

Posted: Nov 04, 2005 - 12:37 PM GMT I am an "area hopper" and love the vacation you are planning. However, I would suggest adding Bromont and Owls Head to your itinerary. Then, at some other time, do a 5-day in central VT, that includes a day at Stowe, Smugglers, Bolton, MRG and Sugarbush. __________ Joshua Segal |

You should head through Morrisville and come down Rt.100 to Stowe from the north. I really doubt there will be a traffic jam of any appriciable size. I want to hear how Star Wars stuff funds a ski trip. And why did you pick the east? Well, OK. I guess it's either snowshoeing through the Notch or driving around the long way. Thanks, guys. I picked the East because that's where I grew up skiing and there are still many, many places I haven skiied there. Plus, it's a lot closer to the relatives' homes we plan to visit over the holidays. re. Star Wars stuff funding a ski trip...that's pretty simple. Over several years I'd collected a bunch of Star Wars toys and other memorabilia, incl. a great deal of vintage items (playsets, vehicles and so forth). Kids and I had fun making displays, but at some point the collection took over too much of the attic, floor, shelves, bathtub, closets and basement. I sold it through a broker on ebay and told my family that since the collecting was fun, we should have fun with the proceeds. I'll try to keep up with my 13-year-old son on the slopes, while my wife and her sister enjoy Magog and Stowe.

Posted: Nov 05, 2005 - 12:34 AM GMT I would also second the Route 100 route from Newport, VT. It's definitely the most direct route. __________ Fall Line n. Imaginary line following the most direct path down a slope that skiers continuously traverse on a run, often stopping at other invisible slope features along the way like the Tumble Lane, the Stagger Path and the Topple Zone. |
