Stowe Mountain Club opens Alpine Club
by PR Wire Report/
Stowe Mountain Club announced the opening of its Alpine Club building, a wonderfully intimate facility centrally located within Spruce Plaza at Stowe Mountain Resort. The new amenity features a member's locker room, bar, restaurant, lounge, game room, reading areas, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, ski valet, concierge services and valet parking. The Spruce Plaza and Alpine Club are also directly connected to Mt. Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, with a high-speed transfer gondola, and mere steps away from a world-class spa, ski slopes and a mountain golf course.
"The interior of the Alpine Club makes use of warm, natural materials such as alder trim and ceiling beams, locally-quarried stone, sustainable hemp fabric and granite countertops," said Dave Kaselak, AIA and principal architect from Zehren and Associates. "Interior spaces with tall ceilings are gracious yet cozy, surrounded by huge expanses of glass to take in the surrounding natural setting, mountains and plaza views. The exterior recalls mountain architecture of the area, with a beautiful wood-burning stone fireplace oriented toward the future ice rink."
Stowe Mountain Club is a four-season, private club with incomparable social and recreational amenities. As part of Stowe Mountain Resort, the club offers the East's superlative experiences in golf, ski, spa, fitness and outdoor lifestyle. Limited membership is available by invitation and to Spruce Peak at Stowe residents. Stowe Mountain Club is overseen by Walter Frame, director of development, and David Bennett, director of golf.
