>>Download Trip Enrollment Form

Escape to the snowy mountains of Vermont and breathtaking Stowe Ski Resort for our unforgettable 2005 gay men's Winter Getaway! With different packages offered, this exciting winter escape is designed for both beginner and experienced skiers looking to hit the slopes, as well as for those who want to escape to a soothing winter paradise but dont want to ski! Hit the slopes, take a ski or snowboard lesson, make an appointment for a massage, go snowshoeing, enjoy a delicious dinner with the group, soak in the indoor pool, relax in the resort's jacuzzi, a curl up by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. The possibilities in Stowe are endless!









Wednesday In the evening, arrive at our comfy gay owned and operated Stowe Village resort lodge, nestled in the snowy white mountains of Vermont! After checking in and taking in the refreshing mountain air, sit down for a FULL TURKEY DINNER a la americaine! That's right! Complete with Turkey and stuffing, cranberry sauce, and all the fixings exclusively for our Urban Outings group! After, enjoy the fire and hang out with the guys before you're off to dreamland!

Thursday - After a warm breakfast in the lodge, your first day in Stowe is sure to be a full one! For the skiers in the group it's your first chance to HIT THE SLOPES of Stowe! Learn to Skiers will head off for their first lesson while the more experienced can head up to conquer the blue or black diamond slopes. And for those who wouldn't dream of strapping on skis, shop in the quaint town of Stowe or head down to the STOWEFLAKE RESORT for a little rest and relaxation by booking one of their many massage treatments or relaxation therapies.

Thursday Night - After a full day in Stowe, meet up at the lodge for a tasty APRES SKI RECEPTION. The night has plenty of fun in store! Enjoy a nightcap with your new Urban Outings buddies, a dunk in the indoor pool, or ease those sore muscles in the jacuzzi or steam room.

Friday After a "stick to your ribs" breakfast, once again you can either hit the slopes, the town, or the massage tables. How about trying your hand at CROSS-COUNRTY SKIING or SNOWSHOEING? The wildlife seen along the breathtaking pathways is awe-inspiring. Friday night join the guys back at the lodge for an APRES SKI RECEPTION and spend your final night just hanging out by the roaring fire, taking a stroll in the moonlight, or once again dipping in what some call the "spring of eternal youth", the JACUZZI!

Saturday - After one last leisurely breakfast and walk around the town, we will head home in the afternoon.
