The Bruce

The first trail to be cut on Mount Mansfield, this existed before the chairlifts did. Throughout the near century long history of Stowe, this trail has been preserved and can now be skied starting from the Quad. Drop in to what looks like a glade, behind the boundary rope near the top of Toll Road. Ski down a long traverse, to begin a long meandering section. Enjoy this classic New England ski trail, passing a short and very steep section called the elevator shaft. The trail slowly gets more and more gradual until you meet the Burt Trail. Skate out to 108 following the Burt Trail, convenient exiting right by The Matterhorn. Making this line a great warm up for apres ski!
