About
If you liked Stratturdays, you'll love our Stratton Homesick Weekend! That's right, it's Stratturday all weekend long!!!
We'll be staying at Black Bear Lodge which is just a short walk, or free shuttle ride for the hard booters, to the Village, Base Lodge and lifts.
Come see why the US Open called this VT resort "home turf" for so many years. With four (6-passenger) high speed lifts with wider cars on the base to summit gondola, so you won’t waste your time standing in line. Perhaps most notable, Stratton boasts one of the best snow-making systems in VT, and backs up their riding/skiing experience with the “Best Snow Guarantee.”

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Shorter Lift Lines
Start your day early to take advantage of the fastest lifts and quieter slopes before the crowds arrive.
Layer up for Variable Mountain Weather
Bring moisture-wicking base layers and insulated mid-layers as temperatures can fluctuate rapidly.
Hydrate Frequently
Cold weather can mask dehydration—keep water handy on the slopes to maintain energy and focus.
Use Sun Protection
Even on cloudy days, sunscreen and UV-protective goggles shield you from mountain sun damage.
