Stowe Resort Sees Hot Early Bookings for 2025-26 Ski Season

Stowe Mountain Resort, Vermont's premier ski destination, reports robust early bookings for the 2025-26 season as skiers lock in spots amid favorable conditions. Early bird winter lodging savings launched July 1 through July 31, 2025, provide up to 20% off accommodations, driving demand before rates rise. Seasonal ski and ride program registration reopens August 26, 2025, for returners and new participants on a first-come, first-served basis, following the close of exclusive early access for 2024-25 families.

The resort eyes a mid-November opening, aligning with Vermont's earliest projected starts on November 12, 2025, and mirroring past successes like Vail Resorts' November 22 targets at Stowe, Okemo, and Mount Snow. Favorable snow predictions, building on last season's powder-packed opening day with untracked runs on National and Liftline, boost optimism for revenue growth. New lift installations, including past upgrades like the FourRunner Quad, enhance access to Stowe's 116 trails across Mount Mansfield.

This surge supports Stowe's forecast of 15% higher winter tourism revenue, initially reported by Seven Days, amid Vermont's competitive ski market. Local businesses in the charming New England town gear up for influxes, with Epic Friend Tickets offering multi-season perks to draw repeat visitors. As of May 2026, the momentum positions Stowe for another standout East Coast season.
