Stratton 1/23-1/24/2016

We skied Stratton last weekend and the conditions were quite good. They were about 75% open. Saturday was cloudy, raw and a cold 10 degrees. Sunday was a brilliant sunny day and a warm 10 degrees.

Having fun


The gondola was crowded all day on Saturday and not so much on Sunday. We never waited more than 7-8 minutes to get on the Ursa 6 and most of the other lifts were ski right on both days.


Sunday was a lot less crowded and incredibly clear


It is always fun to ski with your cousin


Bumps on Liftline. We mostly skied off the Snowbowl FGQ. The conditions were excellent.


It was so clear we could see my favorite area 70 miles away.

The lodges remain a crowded nightmare, especially on Saturday.
If you know your way around Stratton you can have a great time. In a year were they claim to have only 28 inches of natural, Stratton has done a great job.

All things considered, the snow looks remarkably good in Southern VT.  For a weekend, doesn't look too crowded either.
