Just rode the gondola down after hiking to the top. All good except I was disappointed that the gondola was going to be closed on the 4th of July so I couldn't go back to where I left off unless I walked back up
A fantastic ski resort in Stratton,VT.There are much to do here for both skiers and non skiers.
The snow conditions were great today. I went through the glades and it wasn't even to icy.
Tall enough for the east coast, conditions are as good as it gets and I've had excellent powder days here. Enough trail variety to keep it interesting, but double Black basically means moguls on a cliff face rather than challenging terrain. Town had some great shops and solid food.
Great family ski resort. Staff is wonderful with the children in the learn to ski programs
Went to see a concert here. The staff couldn't have been any nicer. The concessions for reasonably priced. Nice view of the mountain
The village around the base is great. The mountain itself was crowded. Lift lines were 30+ minute waits and there was very little snow coverage (super icy!). I get that they can't control nature but there should have been way more man made snow.
High end resort in southern VT. Full village at the base with plenty of food options & shopping. Less crowded mid week then their neighbors, Mt.Snow & they usually have better grooming. Gondola is always a nice touch but they will keep it closed during windy days for safety reasons. Lots of lodging & with the expensive ticket prices you are better of doing a ski & stay package. Terrain parks are good but let's face it, Mt.Snow-Carintha are the best in the neighborhood. You ride Stratton for its grooming & trees!
Went here during a snow and ski demo for the week and it was great. Conditions were fantastic and I bought the lift tickets at liftopia so they weren't too expensive. It's not the best mountain out there but it's good for a short trip
We booked a great deal. 3 days at Black Bear Lodge with Stratton Lift tickets. Good grooming.
Amazing groomed trails and world class terrain, the courtesy patrol is super helpful.
I come here a few times a year and it's always a great time. Well groomed mountain, friendly staff and good eating options in the village. Mid mountain lodge serves a delicious Bloody Mary. Resort prices are high at most bars/restaurants/shops (as expected), so if you stay a few days it pays to bring provisions from off site. In my opinion lodging at Long Trail is a safe bet with cozy studios and multi-room condos (all with fireplaces and kitchens) that give access to a quaint outdoor heated pool and hot tub as well as sauna.
Resort is great. Well run, everything is well organized. Need a few more lifts to avoid lineups on Saturdays
Nice place but too many city folks and people getting in the way of real skiing. Expensive as heck. Gondola doesn't run with a slight breeze blowing.
The venue was nice but security made me throw away my camelbak bladder even thigh it was within festival guidelines.
One of my favorite ski resorts to visit with the family. Some challenging runs but not as much as others in the area but they do have a good mix of terrain. The food and bars in the main lodge is good. Food at sun bowl is ok, the bar in Sun bowl lodge is small but nice. The village is expensive but you can get very good food or equipment there. The resort does a lot for guests
Nice clean quiet place to have lunch outside today. There's peace in them mountains.
Friendly customer satisfaction seems ingrained in most of the merchants. Big or small businesses alike.
Great affordable place to stay to stay right on the mountain. 10+ years and counting for us
Might've just had a good weekend here but this is my new favorite mountain on the east coast.
Many runs, they are long, glades are great, many hills for beginner to expert skiers. Lines are short, and I would recommend the Sun Bowl Lodge as a starting point.
Great family mountain. Ski school incredible. Instructors are amazing. Grizzlies Bar is a must. Look for BOGO. Buy one,get one free passes.
Great MTN, lots of people! So many, it effects your enjoyment. Go Bromley!!!
We hiked up the mountain along the gondola trail and then over to the fire tower. An amazing hike that offers a lot of challenges. We can't wait to do it again!
Love Stratton mountain!! The atmosphere, shops and events are worth the trip!
So many hosts to help you figure it out. They are everywhere.
Stratton mountain is a great place for young couples, school ski groups and families. The mountain maintains great conditions when weather may not be ideal for skiing or snowboarding. Everyone is super friendly and beyond helpful. The mountain is not as big as Killington, however it is a very enjoyable skiing or snowboarding mountain experience.
Went for the mountain due to the recent snow storm. The runs were great and everything was awesome
Excellent place for winter skiing and celebrating new year evenings!!!
Jake in the Burton Experience shop was awesome. So helpful and chill and quick to attend me out. Curtis, my snowboard instructor was excellent. He really helped me get the hang of snowboarding. Super patient and kind. I would request him personally for any further lesson. Genevieve in ticketing and customer service was TERRIBLE. She was unpatient, unclear and inconsiderate. I was very close to backing out of my lesson because of her tone.
Great place to visit and probably one of the best mountains in VT.
Long trails, gondola rides are the best things about this place.
some flat spots or up hill that bother snowboarders on the main base side.
Great terrain! Weird parking situations. Friendly staff. Good snowmaking!
Pretty good but pretty pricey as for a foreigner like me
Great skiing but gondola lines, too long of a wait!
The location/landscape is beautiful, and the selection of restaurants and shops was very good. Mulligan's in particular impressed with excellent burgers. Unfortunately, food and drinks were typically overpriced, and the lodge itself was easily double the price you'll pay at any normal location for the same or even better quality accommodations. That said, it was lovely being able to park once and spend the rest of the trip walking the two blocks to the main resort village and base lodge. We were there to run a race, so we didn't get to home or anything, but the trails were great exercise and led to some remarkable views of the countryside.
Very comfortable facilities. I went during the off season so things were on modified hours. It might be very crowded during peak hours though and parking might be an issue. Things were nice though. Weather up the mountain can be very different from the weather in town though so pack accordingly.
We love this place. Best resort in southern vermont
The only complaint I have is more of a general complaint for the sport of skiing in general; it is very expensive. A standard lift ticket for one day is $125 right now, and if you don't have equipment, rentals cost quite a bit as well. However if you can afford to go skiing and you live in lower New England, Stratton is one of the best mountains you can ski at. They have some of the best snow making and grooming capabilities, combined with a diverse selection of trails to choose from. The glades are some of the best out there. It's the one thing I prefer about skiing the east coast, as west coast forests are not nearly as dense as the east coast. If you are looking for a mountain that suits everyone's needs and ski levels, Stratton is a great choice.
Amazing place. One of the best mountain on east coast.
Great place in general. Lots of excellent food and drink options in the lodge area. I was not here during the winter, but for a summer event. The ice cream shop is fantastic. The little coffee shop attached to the market is the best part. Coffee is amazing and the sandwiches are to die for. Both breakfast and lunch. I suggest the build your own breakfast sandwich on the Portuguese bread, with bacon and egg. For lunch, the Firebomb Cheesesteak is... The... Bomb. :D
We had or wedding there over the weekend the place was spectacular the employees at work for the mountain where awesome
Stratton is one of my favorite resorts to visit. Would recommend
Skiing is a condition, terrain, and crowd dependent activity.
Given that, I would take a pass on this place on a weekend or holiday week. Just way too crowded for me.
Conditions are typically ok. It can snow a bit there in good years and when there is no natural neige, they do know how to make quality snow.
Terrain is mostly intermediate and groomed.
Some good woods for the years when the off piste base is sufficient. Expect trails to be crowded if it's a weekend or holiday.
Upscale place = pretty spendy for everything.
Great mountain tons of summer and winter activities. Great skiing
Great family trip up the mountain on the Gondola in early October. Great foliage, vistas. Hiked from the lift at the the top to the fire tower, about a mile to and a mile from. We and three kids under 3 in back packs.
Good ski hill. Only 3 stars because of the totally unwarranted 5 star prices.
Mountain is pretty crowded in the village and the trails, lift lines we disorganized, and the food was expensive for the amount you get. Better mountains in the area.
Great skiing, reliable lifts, and helpful employees make Stratton one of my favorite ski destinations. Add in the Village experience, and Stratton provides an experience unlike any other on the East Coast.
Great mountain. A little bit slow on moving people up the montain, but not that bad. Very crowded the days we skied so lift lines are inevitable
Stopped in the Stratton Real Estate office and met Betsy. She was very helpful in showing us some properties on very short notice.
My Favorite Blue Cruisers:
Sunrise Super Run
Janeway Junction
Tamarack / Polar Bear
Crowded on the weekend, but tons of slopes that are nice when the ice is covered
