Information on Stratton Mountain Resort:
Set on the highest peak in southern Vermont, Stratton Mountain offers an exhilarating skiing experience for beginner to expert with 92 trails and a 2,003-foot vertical drop. Stratton Mountain offers the best of both worlds as old-fashioned New England hospitality meets state of the art snowmaking and grooming. Located in the heart of Vermont's famed snowbelt, Stratton Mountain looks forward to plenty of natural snowfall each winter. Sixteen lifts, including four high-speed six-passenger lifts, and the enclosed 12-passenger summit gondola are strategically placed to get skiers where they want to be quickly and efficiently. The Stratton Nordic Center provides a change of pace with more than 35 km of tracked cross-country trails and 50 km of back country skiing. Moonlight tours, instruction and rentals are also available. Two comfortable and attractive base lodges (at the Main Mountain and Sun Bowl) offer a full range of skier services. Stratton's Mid-Mountain Lodge provides a perfect alternative for the skier who wants a quick lunch or a cup of cocoa right on the slopes.
