Hey Guys,

I'm moving in November about an hour and a half from Stratton, and couldn't pass up the $350 season pass there. I've only been there a couple times, and don't really know the mountain or the area, so I'm looking to meet up with people to ride with this season.

Always down to buy a round at the end of the day, or send it first to guinea pig a jump.

Let me know whenever you're up there and looking for someone to ride with.

wricksAny jumps in Byrneside or just hips?


There's two real jumps on the right side followed by a couple of these weird steep tabletop transfer things that are decent as well as one hip with a jump built in on the left. Also a couple nice butter boxes towards the end. I think most of it was made with boarding in mind but its super fun regardless.

Why would anyone ever ski Stratton when Mt. Snow and Carinthia is 30 minutes away

Maybe because not all of us want to ski park 24/7

they are super small. almost smaller than tyro had this season. they have some weird true tables and all hand rails setup street style. there is one rainbow small box to a flat box that is odd and a snowboard setup up box.

other weird things are small gap transfer things they could have used the snow for boxes instead but oh well.. stratton being stratton.

As a 27 year old, a Stratton pass costs about $350, whereas a Mt. Snow season pass would've been $900 or something ridiculous like that since I'm now too old for the double down.

Who wants to ski park all day every day ? Stratton is better in all aspects outside of the park.

They dropped the "double down" name and made it the "drifter" It now goes up to age 29 so you technically have two more years and the pass is $400 for 7 mountains.

while it looks like potentially 8-10" will fall between monday and wednesday stratton is still closing april 10th and there is no base in the woods so that snow will be of no use to us.

The only time I have been able to get in the woods in VT this season was at Jay so that's really not a big deal for me lol, I got my share of pow and woods in Japan. They can close on the 10th still but this storm is on the 3rd and 4th, it will just be a nice little end of the season treat.
