Mansfield Winter Academy is about to step into the future if all goes as planned. Plans to acquire the Two Dog Lodge on the Mountain Road, as discussed at Tuesdays Stowe Development Review Board meeting, will not only put the school on par with other ski racing and snowboard academies in New England, but it will also allow the school to expand its programs.

Mansfield Ski Academy is moving in, assuming the property sale goes as planned. The Stowe Development Review Board approved the change of use on Tuesday. |
""MMWA and MMSC provided our children Jess, Tim, and Robby Kelley the opportunities and tools they needed to get a quality education and still pursue their passion for ski racing at an elite level. They were able to stay involved in their local high school and community by attending the academy in the winter and their own high school fall and spring. We believe the combined atmosphere of elite skiing and a "home" high school allowed our children to have a more balanced lifestyle, better preparing them for the "real world."
