Stratton Mountain School

Good article in today's Boston Globe Magazine on Stratton Mountain School. Seems to be the leading source of snowboard olympians.

"It makes me feel stoked"
$40K/year
"Since 1972 Stratton has graduated 30 Olympians. Five have won medals, including two gold. Those are staggering numbers, especially when you consider the school has a current enrollment of just 112 students..."

The Ski Academies ( Stratton, Burke Mountain Academy, GMVS, Killington, just to name a few) can be an incredible experience for those who are fortunate enough to attend one. What is interesting to note, is that the student/athletes that do not go on to a national team, are usually very successful in College and later their professional careers. They can take the same disciplines that they learn at these Academies and apply them to whatever they become passionate about later on in their lifes .
