Dear Friends of the Stowe Derby,
Ski history in the making!

The town is buzzing with excitement as the Stowe Derby approaches! Fresh snow is accumulating quickly, making our touring centers some of the best in New England!

We hope that you plan to ski in the Stowe Derby - the famous and unique downhill Cross Country ski race held annually in Stowe, Vermont. This year, the race is on 

Sunday, Feb. 23

 

Choose between the long 20 km course skate or classic, or the short 6km course. The Derby Meister is for EXPERTS only.  

 

Rally up some friends and join us for the challenge, bragging rights, the competition, or simply for a fun day skiing in Stowe!

Derby RECON is on Friday, February 14th, 1:30pm
