Stratton Mountain is a large ski resort in Vermont. With 620 acres of land, 94 trails, and 11 lifts, Stratton has plenty of area to explore. Stratton has 2 base areas, and one large peak. Almost all of the hardest runs are at the top of the mountain, with intermediate and easier runs from the middle to the bottom, also... boasting a leisurely and scenic green trail from the summit, accessible by Gondola. With 3 lifts that start halfway up the mountain, however, skiers that prefer more advanced runs can stay on them. Stratton has plenty of trails for novices (41% of the terrain is green circle), and also has 10% expert terrain for those so inclined. Six terrain parks, including a superpipe, are well laid and spread throughout the lower sections of the mountain. The no-car-needed resort is anchored by a village at the base with a heated cobblestone walkway and is definitely worth checking out. Overall, Stratton Mountain is unique in that it offers very different styles of riding and skiing (snowboarding capital, expert terrain, great terrain parks, cruisers), but has separated and polished each aspect.

I did the rental, lessons, & beginner slopes deal for $29 a day. The equipment was new and in great shape. All Burton. The instructors and staff were very helpful and accommodating. I learned a lot and graduated to the greens (off the bunny slope). Since I stayed on the beginner slopes there were NO LINES, which was fine with me since I wasn't ready for the bigger runs just yet. I heard a lot of complaints about the gondola lines. Food and drinks were way overpriced, but that seems par for the course at most resorts. I'd definitely come back here. For a deal like $29 a day, who can complain?

Great time-great value. Good instructors too! I learned a lot! The snow was perfect we even had some new coverage overnight. I would recommend this package, but I am too advanced to do it again! I have graduated off of the bunny hill and "magic carpet".

Excellent snowmaking on Stratton. They have done a great job getting trails open despite the lack of real pow. The staff is wonderful. Grizzly's Bar is reasonably priced and fun for apres ski!

Took a trip on Jan. 2, should've brought my ice skates. Once a good storm hits this season, be prepared for some good skiing and good company at Stratton.

If you're heading south on Rte. 30 after skiing, stop at Rick's Tavern. It's about twenty miles south on the left side. Monday night is wing night, $.35 wings, great food, great deal. $1.75 Bud Light drafts.

Spent 12/23 on the mountain with my family. Not a lot open, but reasonably good cover and well groomed to start the day. Parking in lot 1 and taking shuttle was seemless. Note: there is almost no direction to the skier drop-off area, and i made more than one lap around the base area looking for it. Also, snowboard rentals are in different area from ski rentals, but there are no signs directing you, so you have to ask someone????? those 6-pack lifts are FAST.

First, If you park in Lot 1, it can be quicker to walk than to wait for Shuttle Bus to Lodge, from Lot 2, wait for the Bus for sure.
Your Liftopia Ticket is taken at any ticket window to get lift pass.
Take Gondola to top of the mountain rather than the lift, unless you are a beginner.

Absolutely awesome lodge food best anywhere in th east, not outta sight either. Don't bother brown baggin it. You save so much coin on the ticket splurge for lunch.

Always the best grooming in Vermont. Considering the lack of natural snow and recent warm temps, they had amazingly good conditions. Start early in the AM as it gets skied off after lunch (1 PM and later)

Super deal through Liftopia! Conditions were good for early season, blessed with fresh snow on Friday. The trick is look for the discounts on weekdays, BEFORE the holiday period, when it's less crowded.
