The Mount Mansfield Ski Club (originally the Stowe Ski Club) was incorporated in 1934. Its ski program trained and mentored thousands of young skiers, many of whom became Olympic team members and medalists. This sign incorporates the distinctive "Stowe" logo created in the 1950s by artist Sasha Mauer, and now utilized by the town and many businesses in the area. The "S" in Stowe is a swoosh made from the tracks of a skier.
