Looks like Stratton has filed an Act250 for some lift additions and trail improvements. https://anrweb.vt.gov/PubDocs/ANR/SPTemp/006 Beginner Area Grading Plans.pdf

How big are the Learning programs there really?

it's seems like a huge program. the place is a disaster in the morning (another reason to start at sunbowl base)
the must be moving the little tyroliene park to connect with village walk run since they are moving the cub carpet over next to south American.

Unless I am missing something, it looks relatively minor. Some regrading and addition of magic carpets. If I were a Stratton local I might want to see more. But I am not a local so I will defer to those that are.

Yeah Sunbowl has some of the nicest parking anywhere, right next to the trails and lodge, no uphill climb

I’ve been out of the loop a bit there, and don’t remember that lot to the right being so large.
It was always better than the lots at the main base, but the additional parking there is really nice.

If the size of the U10 prgrams (alpine and freestyle and snowboard) that the Stratton Winter Sports Club (SWSC) are any inducation of what the Stratton Ski School has numbers wise for youth programs, they've got some BIG numbers. SWSC regualrly has (and has been having for a while) somewhere around half of the athletes in the U10 and U12 ages groups of the Souhtern VT Council races. Nobody else (even if you view the athletes from the Mount Snow Training Center and Mount Snow Academy as 1 group) even comes close to the number of youn athletes they have, and that's very often a function of how big their youth ski/ride school programs are

Do those lots fill up first?
Funny thing about the sunbowl, lot 1 can be full and cars pile into lot 2, but the sunbowl lot stays pretty empty. Happened last Saturday, drove by lot 2 and it was pretty full, we still parked in the area by the solstice lift.

The ones at cannon don’t fill up first. They are tiered and are right next to Brook side slope.
I can't speak from recent experience because I havent been there since early 2020, however then it was never an issue getting a spot except for founders day, st patricks day, occaisonal fridays and powder days. This was midweek though, I avoided the place on weekends. Probably a little less low key than the Stratton sunbowl though, even in those days

re grading beginner area and moving some of the carpet lifts around. one right in front of ski school building, lengthening to 160' and moving it much closer to building from what exists now. so it's right next to the current patio.
then adding 2 carpets to the unused section of trail next to south american (below the little Tyrolean park). one 260' which parallels south american and one 70' looks like wedged in next to trees on the other side of cub carpet.
