Stowe was just named a top five "Boston Traveler: Cold-Weather Escapes," by Boston Magazine, alongside other greats like Park City, Portland (Maine), Zurich and Santa Fe! Known as the "The Original Getaway," Stowe makes the list for its iconic, classic and DIVERSE mountain terrain, awesome craft beer scene, localvore eateries and all-you-could-need (or want) amenities. 

The author notes: “Its world-class slopes and unfussy charms made it the iconic New England winter destination.”

Plus, getting to Stowe is under four hours from the greater Boston area.
