Скачать или смотреть Stowe, VT - ◊ S-53 to ◊◊ Starr (12-24-24) [4K]

Another nice natural terrain run, though like the rest of the hard stuff the upper portion was closed. This was a bit of a cut-across through S-53, and I missed the entrance to that the first time I tried to get here. Conditions were pretty good, though you can certainly see some of the ice on the middle part of Starr when it runs next to the Lookout Double.

This is one of the "front four" at Stowe - the others being National, Liftline, and Goat.

Advice: As I said above, there is an earlier portion above the S-53 traverse that honestly doesn't look as scary as the top parts of, say, Goat or National. There are some nice glades off S-53 if that's your thing. If you're looking for something a little harder, keep going on the traverse onto Lookout.
