With more rain in the forecast for this week, organizers of the Stowe Derby had to make a tough decision: Itâs not safe to run the race until we get more snow. The Stowe Derby has been rescheduled to Sunday, March 20 â in hopes that, in the next month, the community will get a respectable amount of snow. The race started in 1945 as a personal challenge between two amazing skiers, Austrian Sepp Ruschp, head of the new alpine ski school at Stowe, and his friend Erling Strom, a world-famous mountaineer from Norway.
