Dude, I hit Stowe every year. I've been going there for 4 years and I return every year. Yeah, I've only been to the park once, and it is a shit hole, but thats no reason to bad mouth the whole resort. Spruce Peak is amazing! And name one other resort that turns a summer waterfall into a ski run. The Toll Road Run is the greatest thing ever! And the gondola is sweet too. Yeah, parks and Pipe aren't their main consern but I would go there every year if they kept it the way it was!
