We've stayed at Stratton four or five times over the past few years (once in the summer, for a mountain top wedding, the rest in winter). This is a fantastic place, great for all levels of skiers, and also for non-skiers. We started going here because my wife doesn't ski, and this is the only place in southern Vermont with lodging and a village at the base lodge. So I can get up, go ski for as long as I like, and my wife can relax, walk the village or go for a drive and sightsee in the local area.

As for the skiing, you can't beat it. There are trails for all level of skiers, from beginner to expert, and these folks REALLY know how to take care of those trails. The grooming is fantastic and the runs are excellent. My daughter, a cautious intermediate level skier, enjoys the "greens" from the mountain summit, and I love the blacks and double blacks. No matter what level skier you are, you will find runs that please you, and they will be in perfect condition.

I have to add this - the resort staff are fanatical in their dedication to customer service. The Welcome Center folks are fantastic and will do whatever it takes to make sure you enjoy your stay.

I give Stratton the highest rating. Go there! You won't be sorry!
