I have been going to Stratton for over 30 years and can confidently say it is one of the best resorts on the east coast! The terrain is varied so there is something for everyone - a dedicated learning area, difficult trails, plenty of glades, and terrain parks with a number of different features. I spent a season teaching for the ski school and had one of the best seasons ever! The staff is friendly, efficient, and some folks have been there for years, which adds to the community and family feel of the hill. The après scene is top notch with plenty of bars and restaurants right at the bottom of the hill; not many mountains on the east coast are true resorts in that you really dont need to leave the immediate area and Stratton delivers on all fronts. I look forward to another 30+ years!
