Things to do this month

March in Stowe is when winter hits its stride while the first hints of spring begin to appear. Longer days, sunnier skies, and lively slopes create the perfect setting for outdoor adventure and seasonal celebrations. It’s the time to savor everything that makes winter in Stowe special, from bluebird ski days to festive events and après-ski gatherings that stretch well into the evening.

A Peek Into Spring Skiing

March is one of the most interesting times to ski and ride at Stowe Mountain Resort because conditions can go either way—in the best possible sense. Some days bring fresh snowfall and wintery conditions, while others deliver sunny skies and classic spring skiing with softer snow and lively après scenes. With longer daylight hours and incredible views of Mt. Mansfield, it’s a fantastic time to spend a full day on the mountain.

Explore the Stowe Recreation Path

As the season begins to shift, the Stowe Recreation Path offers a front-row seat to the changing landscape. If winter is still holding strong, the path becomes a peaceful corridor for snowshoeing or simply taking in the snowy scenery. When warmer days arrive, it’s a great place for a walk, a bike ride, or a slow stroll alongside the West Branch of the Little River. No matter what the weather brings, the Rec Path is one of the best ways to experience Stowe at your own pace.

Relax and Unwind

After a day on the slopes or exploring the outdoors, unwind at one of Stowe’s world-class spas or wellness centers, where saunas, massages, and heated pools offer a welcome contrast to the crisp mountain air. March is also a great time to explore indoor experiences like art galleries, cooking classes, or a yoga session with a view. It's a slower, more reflective side of Stowe—and the perfect way to recharge between adventures.

Après-Ski & the Winter Dining Scene

Settle into Stowe’s welcoming restaurants and après spots to warm up and unwind. March is perfect for lingering over comfort food, sipping a local craft beer, or sharing stories from the slopes beside a crackling fire. With longer evenings and a relaxed late-winter atmosphere, it’s the kind of month where dinner easily turns into a cozy night out.
