The Stowe Derby is one of the oldest and most unique ski and Fat Bike races in North America. It started in 1945 as a personal challenge between two amazing skiers – Austrian, Sepp Ruschp who was hired to come to America and head the new ski school at Stowe and Erling Strom, world famous mountaineer from Norway. The challenge was the same as it is today – to race from the top of Mt. Mansfield, Vermont`s highest peak to the historic village of Stowe… on ONE pair of skis! The ultimate test of a skiers ability. Over the course, participants ski through 20km, or 14km of challenging terrain, racing down Mt. Mansfield`s Toll Road and along the entire length of the Stowe Recreation Path before reaching the finish in the village. The course has a total vertical drop of over 2,600 feet. The winners will complete the course in under 45 minutes, while recreational skiers can take a couple of hours to go the same distance.

Every year during the month of January, Stowe comes alive with great winter fun featuring over ten exciting events, from the silly to the sublime. Events include the Kids Carnival Kaos, the always hilarious Snowgolf & Snowvolleyball tournaments and the exciting NICA sanctioned Ice Carving Competition! The first winter carnival, held in 1921, was the set up by Craig O. Burt, a well recognized leader of the community at that time. He wanted to help bring the people in town out of economic and winter doldrums. It featured ski jumping and tobogganing on a hill behind the public school. And just as it was back in 1921 Stowe remains a superb place to visit all winter long. Enjoy wonderful accommodations, great shopping opportunities, award-winning dining and of course, world-class skiing and snowboarding.
