About Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum

The museum sits in Stowe and focuses on Vermont's winter sports heritage. Its exhibits have included a photography retrospective of a Vermont mountain-culture storyteller and a display tracing snowboarding from its homemade beginnings to a worldwide sport. Visitors can also learn about Vermont ski areas that no longer operate. The museum runs a Hall of Fame that honors athletes, pioneers, and contributors to the state's winter sports reputation. From autumn to April it hosts a monthly speaker series with panels, individual guests, and films. The museum began in 1988 in Brandon as the Vermont Ski Museum and moved to Stowe in 2000, opening at its current site in 2002.
