The resort, which is made up of a succession of low-lying peaked buildings, was founded as a 22-room inn in 1959. The Topnotch Resort & Spa has 120 acres to itself, with commanding views of nearby Mt. There are 485 skiable acres and 48 total trails in the resort, making it a sought-after destination for East Coast skiers. Stowe is a charming, though increasingly commercial, ski village, comprised of two major mountains, Spruce Peak and Mount Mansfield, which is the tallest mountain in Vermont at 4395 feet (the highest skiing elevation is 3,640 feet). One of the best places in Vermont to observe the changing seasons is the Topnotch Resort & Spa, in Stowe. The white-spired churches and green-shuttered cottages scattered through Vermont's little villages look equally appealing against a background of blue summer skies, red and orange trees, or a winter blizzard. The state's maple and birch trees change color simultaneously during a short and intense autumn season, when temperatures are often still pleasant-during the day, at least. Vermont summers are idyllic and hot, but fall foliage is probably the peak tourist season for all of New England, and Vermont in particular. In Pictures: Vermont's Topnotch Resort & Spa Skiing is obviously a big draw during the winter months, when people from all over the Eastern seaboard and beyond head north to ski in one of the state's many resorts. Some 30% of the state's nonfarm workers are employed in service jobs, according to the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. After farming, tourism is the state's lifeblood.
