Stowe Mtn. Resort (8:24)

seg_stowemtnresort Explains and shows how under the leadership of Sepp Ruschp (1930s-1960s), and his prominent Austrian ski instructor recruits, Mt. Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont became “The Ski Capital of the East”. This story is told in part by Johannes von Trapp, youngest of the famous Trapp Family Singers, who resided in Stowe and knew Sepp and his Austrian ski instructor recruits, and Othmar Schneider, the Austrian Olympic Champion, who for years graced the slopes of Mt. Mansfield as one of Stowe’s star instructors and race coaches.
