Stowe has very good skiing, but there were aspects I did not like. You have to take a bus to travel from one mountain to the other, and the trails are not well-marked. Furthermore, the mountain is large, but nowhere near as big as some other New England resorts. I think Stowe is a good resort, but definitely should not be placed above Sunday River or Killington (neither of which made the list).
Pros: Good grooming, Good parking, Not too crowded
Cons: Expensive, Inter-mountain travel, Poorly marked trails
