Never been to straton, but hear it sucks. Did Okemo once and my thoughts were that it is an intermediate skier's paradise, but pretty much sucks for aggressive advanced and expert folks.

Loosely think of Stratton as Okemo with a Gondola and 6packs instead of high speed quads. Although Stratton's trees keep it ahead of Okemo IMHO

Stratton is pretty-much the same. May be a little bit mellower. More fartbags and fur-lined hoods, though.

Every blue at Bretton Woods is pretty mellow. Valley run at Waterville isn't too hard.

Ridge trail at Belleayre. It goes across the top and requires skating and poling, it's really to connect to the other trails from the top, but for some reason it's a blue.
