Parked in the winter lot adjacent to where the gate is on 108. Walked to the picnic area and couldn't find the trailhead. Ended up walking back behind the Stowe Resort maintenance building and using GPS to intersect the trail. Once on the the trail we were able to stay on it easy enough despite all the ski tracks. Found the profanity trail near the Taft lodge but lost it after only 3-4 blazes so ended up basically walking straight up the summit. Made it and that's what counts. |
