Toll Road Uphill Map

The Toll Road makes the summer driving route up Mount Mansfield, but in the winter it’s a remote-feeling green run at Stowe. The road snakes through deep woods and connects to only a few other runs at the south edge of the resort. From bottom to top Toll Road rises 2400 feet in about 4 miles, making quite a long tour if you take it all the way. You could of course go just partway up, then enjoy a mellow ski from wherever you choose to turn around.

Description

Stowe allows uphill access on a handful of designated routes, which vary by time of day. Toll Road is designated as an “evening route,” open from 4:30pm until midnight according to the resort’s uphill policy. No pass is needed, but you must follow the policy and other guidelines found on the Mountain Safety webpage.
