Not sure what’s more disappointing in Stowe this season, the foliage or the $47 toll road fee lol

Supply and demand.  I’ve been getting notifications the thing is parked out and one up/one down within an hour of opening every day.  Economics says that price will keep rising given crowd levels, ha.

Yeah I’m with you.  That’s why I hike the hill with my dog.  No people and on my own in the quiet.  I’m just saying there are clear economic principles at play in these things.  Working and living in a resort town you realize the amount of wealth around the Northeast is staggering.

The Notch Road is free (also a zoo)… Gondola would be a toss up but no matter what price point there’s 2K+ people looking to get on it a day in foliage.

Who the fuk pays to go see foliage? I have a couple bridges i will let go inexpesively    lol

:lol: It’s big business.  They go Bar Harbor/Acadia to North Conway to Bretton Woods/MWN to Stowe to Lake Placid, NY then down to Lake George to Manchester, VT or the Berkshires (Williamstown or Stockbridge) and then back through Lakes Region of NH.

Talk to a few dozen leaf peppers and half of them will hit a combination of those locations, without fail.

Sturbridge gets super crowded when we get towards peak, we used to get leaf peepers at the restaurant but used to do well in tips that time of the year.
