The pool is as beautiful as it is clean, as is the rest of the establishment, including fabulous workout areas. If you are in Stowe for a holiday spend a few hours here-- I guarantee you will leave refreshed. If you live in the area, gift yourself a membership, and just watch your joy increase after each visit.

100% recommend this walking/bike path…read more Round trip, our bike ride was just about 10.5 miles. Along the way we passed a small memorial garden, athletic fields, an indoor public pool, restaurants, benches, a gazebo over looking the river and trash cans for your dog waste. At the other end, is a covered bridge just at the entrance to that parking area. There are several parking areas along the route with picnic tables and port-a-johns. Trails are kept in good conditiin. Lots of wooden brudges criss-cross the river. These are barely wide enough to pass pedestrians on a bike and most have an incline on both ends. This trail is in no way mostly flat. Our way out was an incline. Sometimes slight, sometimes more. The way back was *way* quicker and easier. Parking at this end is paved. Other lots along the way are a mix of dirt and paved. Signs trail side state to stop at road crossings and walk your bicycle across. Pedestrians and bicycles stay to the right. Let pedestrians, and other cyclists, know you are passing them. On-leash dog friendly.

Heavenly walk through the backside of Stowe, a paved nature path through meadows and woods and fields. So picturesque on even what started as a cold, rainy morning that became sunny and bright.

I was beyond impressed with the Trapp Outdoor Center. The lodge is rustic and cozy (everything you…read morewant after a long day of outdoor winter sports) and the people are some of the nicest I've ever met. First we did a snow shoe tour through the sugar bush with one of the guides. Beautiful and a great introduction to snowshoeing. We then did a cross country ski lesson and then had a blast discovering just how hard cross country really is. (Note to down hill skiers like myself, there are more differences than similarities between CC and downhill skiing.) We actually loved this whole experience and the Trapp property so much we came back a second day and did the ~6mi (10K) snowshoe trail up to the cabin, which was one of the more magical and memorable experiences of my lifetime. It was just a perfect day with perfect snow and scenery. It truly MADE my Christmas vacation. All in all, this was more than a five star experience for us. I would honestly like to just move in and sit by their fire for the rest of my life.

Ausable Chasm is a fun, interesting nature experience. We opted for the Explorer tour, which lets…read moreyou walk across two very safe suspension bridges (wide plank walkway, high net walls) and culminates in your choice of tube or raft ride. Word to the wise - opt for the tubes. The line for the raft ride took forever - 90 mins (longer than it took us to walk to that spot). They don't have enough guide staff, so the same guys who take the rafts downriver then have to load up the rafts at that end and get driven back to the starting point. I thought perhaps that was bc we went 8/21 and a lot of college kids are back in school, but another review from June here said same thing. The tubes don't need a guide so the line goes faster. You will get wet in those, not really in the raft although you can't avoid wet feet. Still, we really enjoyed the experience - it worked for our mix levels of adventure seeking kids. We did not opt to do the more adventurous course w/ clip lines, etc. Would definitely advise getting there first thing for all, bc sometimes there were people clipped to side of mountain trail, but having to wait to move forward b/c of people in front of them. I don't think I'd like to have to keep my feet on a small jutting rocks while waiting to move. Also for those who have difficulty with knees/stairs or need flat surfaces even the walking path can be challenging.

I have been here multiple times throughout my life and each time the lifeguards have been very rude but I will say they take their jobs VERY seriously so no punk ass kids will be getting away with anything. The water is a very comfortable temperature however the water that falls on you in the lazy river is freezing. My main issue is the most recent time I came both me and my little cousin got stuck in the orange slide. We are both around 100lbs and as far as I know there was no weight requirement for the orange slide. There are also no openings in the slide like there are for the chute Incase you do get stuck. My cousin had gotten stuck about three times she went down it and had to push her way down the rest of the way. I got stuck the last time I went on it and it just so happened to be during the dark part and I was terrified and also had to push my way down the rest. The main reason is the water pressure on that slide is extremely low. When I got stuck I could feel the water slowly slowing down.

This is a very kid friendly place so obviously this place is full of kids gold wild. From what I could see there were slides, a climbing wall, a surfing or wakeboard simulator, lazy river, basketball, indoor hot tub and probably more. There is a bar inside and I believe you can also order food. There were lockers onsite and every kid we saw was having a wonderful time. This is an additional fee unless you have it added into your ski package which we did. We only came for the outdoor hot tub since their on site lodging didn't have any. It was pretty large and a unique shape, looked kind of like a clover. It gave the feeling of having multiple hot tubs within which was nice for small groups. It was hot and working well, a huge plus because often times there are problems with hot tubs during ski season. While we visited the kids that were in the outdoor tub were well behaved. It would be nice to have an adults only one as well to reduce crowding. When it's 10 degrees F or below, with windchill, the outdoor hot tub is closed.
