For incoming Residents, at the start of the Residency session we offer shuttle service to Johnson from the Waterbury-Stowe, VT Train Station. Because there is only one train arrival each day, we ask Residents coming by train to arrive on Saturday only (even if the Residency session normally begins on a Sunday). This is an exception we make only for train travel. On the last day of the Residency session, we also offer shuttle service to the Waterbury-Stowe, VT station for morning train departures. Please see our Travel Form for more details.
