Project Description
More Projects
The Spruce Peak at Stowe development marks the renaissance of Stowe Mountain Resort, providing long-anticipated mountain and facility upgrades, on-mountain accommodations, and four-season attractions to the well-known ski destination. Adjacent to a scenic byway, black bear habitat, and the protected Big Spruce Brook, the project required significant stakeholder buy-in prior to its inception, and continues to be developed within strict regulatory control. We have been an integral part of this development since the inception of the Spruce Peak at Stowe project in 2003, providing mountain planning, site planning, design and construction administration, as well as invaluable coordination between all members of this complex project’s implementation team.
The vibrant village green, the new focus for year-round activities at the resort, is adjacent to Spruce Peak’s “snowfront”, and surrounded by the Stowe Mountain Lodge hotel and spa, Spruce Camp base lodge, and the newly opened Performing Arts Center. The surrounding ski to/from real estate is set into the hillside providing outstanding views, privacy, and convenient connections with the base area development via the new, much needed beginner terrain. This seamless integration of mountain terrain and base area development throughout Spruce Peak is key to the project’s success.
The Spruce Peak development has transformed Stowe Mountain Resort into the premier mountain resort destination in the eastern U.S. and re-established the resort’s reputation as an industry leader.
