Stratton Lift Ticket Giveaway

[Beartrap]

I won on Saturday and I plan on going this Friday since I hate going on weekends. I know it maybe crowded on Friday but I am at least grateful for the chance to ski this year as I have not since 2005 because of monetary woes and getting married. I have not been to Stratton since 2003 and man I hope I remember where the "free" lots are and not the paid garage BS. This is a silver lining for me since my company shut down on Friday mid-shift. I did have a new job but this was supposed to be my last week there but they beat me to it. Now I just wish my buddy would win so I have someone to ski with on Friday instead of being alone.

I wanted to give everyone a follow up to my troubles. Gabriel had the company sending out the text messages contact me. They couldn't really figure out why I wasn't getting the text messages either. They also weren't receiving any texts I was sending to them.

Finally they were able to force a message through and I have indeed won a one day ticket to Stratton this season! I'll also be changing my data provider to Verizon wireless in a month anyway.

Thanks Gabriel for the follow up on this one! :beer:

Later,

That's great follow up on their part! Nice work Stratton!

Yeah, good for me, good for Stratton. Sucks for the rest of you because now I won't be tending the Orion for the after AZ day BBQ

 

[Beartrap]

Yeah something is going on with their sms text system because my wife and my friend never got a text message only the confirmation email. Something needs to be looked at because all other text messages came through. It seems like the service needs to be restarted.

I won too! I'd love to join the AZ Stratton day if there is one. I've been to Stratton a few times myself on free or discounted lift tickets so I know my way around the mountain somewhat. Not my favorite place to go but I always have fun when I'm there so I can't really complain.

Mostly a lot of steep, fast groomers with a few bump runs thrown in for good measure. They have a lot of high speed lifts so you do get a lot of skiing in while you're there. Their glades are apparently really good when the conditions justify going in the trees. I haven't explored that aspect of Stratton much but would certainly like to.

I'm hoping for a midweek powder day where southern Vermont gets hit with the goods from a coastal storm and farther north gets shut out. I've hit Mount Snow several times when that happened. With powder boards, a foot of fluff on that groomed-out medium pitch stuff is very pleasant skiing. Even better, their intermediate customer base mostly doesn't ski powder so there's very little competition.

+1. Great publicity opportunity

I wonder how long it would take to process 45 "freebie" cell-phones at the courtesy desk.

That sounds good in theory, but there's no way that I'm driving past Magic to hit Stratton on a powder day.
