Stratton Mountain, located in the Green Mountains of Vermont, is a quintessential New England ski destination renowned for its rich history and exceptional snow quality. Opened in 1961, Stratton holds a special place in winter sports lore as the birthplace of modern snowboarding; it was here that Jake Burton Carpenter perfected his board designs and the mountain became the first major resort to welcome snowboarders. Today, its bustling European-style village provides a perfect basecamp for winter adventures.
Stratton boasts 670 skiable acres with a substantial 2,003-foot vertical drop, offering an impressive variety of terrain. The mountain features 99 trails serviced by 11 lifts, including a speedy summit gondola and the four-passenger Snow Bowl Express. Advanced skiers love the steep pitches of Polar Bear and Kidderbrook, while intermediates cruise down the wide, impeccably groomed lines of Standard and Wanderer. Freestyle riders are drawn to the mountain’s top-tier terrain parks, which carry on the resort’s storied snowboarding legacy.
