    Plans at Stratton

    Parking is an issue, regularly on busy weekends all lots are full and parking is on both sides of the sun bowl access road, so that will help. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    The NEW Magic Mountain

    Closed out my magic season last weekend with my third day there this year. Had a blast really getting to explore the place, including skiing a lot of terrain I don’t normally get to see or ski. As a passholder across the valley, I am super stoked at the huge investments in time, capital, and...

    WST: 3/30-31 The end is near? Or is it just the beginning?

    Stratton is skiing very nicely. Soft snow everywhere, very little ice. Some bare spots. Visibility varies from pea soup fog to almost clear. Bottom of World Cup was very sticky; otherwise it’s not sticky at all.

    Stratton Glade Conditions

    Glades were crunchy and skied our on Sunday. Not sure how much the 4-5” they got last night will really make a big difference, needs more than that to really make the rocks and stumps covered. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    Stratton 2/3/2019

    I’ve always wondered if the terminals and drive from the shooter could be moved over to the kidderbrook line. Splice a longer haul rope, buy some chairs and it would be perfect.

    Weekend Speculation Thread 2/2-3: The Road to Recovery?

    Skied Stratton Sunday. Conditions were better than expected. If we get a good storm this week most trails and glades in sovt will be open. Saturday’s crowds will be significant, they always are after a mid week storm. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    Teaching the girlfriend to ski. Where to go for a first timer?

    Skivermont.com has $49 one day packages and $129 3 day learner packages, those are definitely your best value. Almost every resort has learner programs, so go where you want to ski. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    Crowds today aren’t bad. Sunday’s are usually quieter than Saturday’s. Can’t wait for the snowbowl lift to finally be ready. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    Stratton Mountain - New Snow Bowl HSQ

    West side/snowbowl trails are next, except for liftline because of the ongoing lift construction. The extra intermediate terrain is sorely needed. They have the natural snow trails closed, and the troughs of the bumps in the trees were getting a little bony by end of day Saturday, so I assume...

    Crowd levels at New Years

    The week between Xmas and New Years is usually extremely busy. However, skiing on Xmas day or New Year’s Day is much less crowded than the other days. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    Stratton 1/21/2018

    Stratton seemed as busy as I have seen all year yesterday. Lines were long at the main base, and were longer than I expected at the sun bowl for a few hours in the morning. Snow on the sun bowl side was good all day, did get scraped up on the snow bowl Side early. Nice weather and soft snow for...
