NEW EXHIBIT

A Place in the Snow: Vermont's Ski House Architecture

Ever wondered about the history behind some of Stowe's and the Mad River Valley's most distinctive ski houses?

From A-frames and Alpine-inspired chalets to striking modernist homes and rustic lodges, This exhibit tells the story of how an influx of ski houses and lodges transformed the landscape, introducing new architectural styles alongside Vermont’s traditional villages and agricultural landscapes.

A Place in the Snow celebrates Vermont’s ski house architecture from the 1950s through the 1970s, when visionary architects such as Lawrence Hess, Robert Burley, Marcel Beaudin, and Henrik Bull brought bold new designs to Vermont's mountain communities.

Through historic photographs, architectural drawings, models, and memorabilia, the exhibit documents both lost and surviving examples of ski house architecture.

Created in collaboration with the University of Vermont Historic Preservation Program, the exhibit offers a fresh perspective on the familiar landscapes of Stowe and the Mad River Valley.

REFRESHED EXHIBIT

Beginnings - Snurfing to Snowboarding 1965 to 1985

There's more to discover!

Our popular Snurfing to Snowboarding exhibit, which debuted last December, has been refreshed with new artifacts, including vintage clothing, equipment, and memorabilia.

Whether you explored the exhibit last year or haven't yet had the chance, these additions offer a fresh look at the evolution of snowboarding and the people and innovations that shaped the sport.

Come explore both exhibits, enjoy a festive evening at the Museum, and help us celebrate another season of preserving and sharing Vermont's skiing and snowboarding history.
