| Comments on Stratton
My wife and I used our free ski days at Stratton back on March 7th. We’d been skiing Mount Snow that entire week so we thought it be nice to break up the week with a change. Now I know why so many people call it FLATTON. Not because the mountain isn’t too steep but because they groom everything flat. I only saw a couple of natural trails and one bump run and everything else was a flat as a pancake. We spoke to many people on the gondola about this and the consensus was everyone loved it that way! Most of them were commenting how perfect the conditions were. I just couldn’t stand it, after a few hours of cruising hard flat corduroy we got bored and went home. What also bothered me was the creepy look of the place. Everything was so neat and tidy it kind of gave me the creeps. It didn’t even feel like you were on a mountain but more of a man-made park. One trail down the front side had a 6 foot tall net almost the entire length of the trail and every pole, snow making hydrant and tree anywhere near the trail had multiple pads attached in some bright yellow color. My wife commented that the lawyers must have made them do it to avoid lawsuits? The people that liked it should stay there and hopefully this sickness won’t infiltrate other mountains. |
