Stratton really does have some Awesome trees. The place gets ripped on a bunch for various reasons, but when the trees are skiing well there, I can't see how anyone would have a bad time.

from northern jersey, i haven't found a better option in terms of lift served day tripper with this much glades. most of the times, i have fun. 1/5 was crowded, but i stayed in the woods and the momma bears normally quit by noon or 1 so i am good.

haven't been to stratton in many years. are the glades marked or secret stashes?

 

[deadheadskier]

I've only skied the marked glades at Stratton, but there is quite a few of them. My experience was that they were largely ignored by most of the skiers there.

Looks like those woods aren't seeing much traffic.

i'd say 50/50 marked and marked. i agree dhs, people ignore mostly. in marked glades i see tracks but often plenty of pow left. in unmarked i hardly see tracks. jackpot for me.

Yeah, the trees there are hands-down, the best of the big 3 (Mt. Snow, Okemo, Stratton) in southern Vermont
