Stratton Thanksgiving Ski Weekend with OvRride LLC | Boat Tour | Lodging

Set against the rugged backdrop of Vermont’s Green Mountains, the Stratton Thanksgiving Weekend hosted by OvRride LLC offers an invigorating winter escape just a bus ride away from New York City. Stratton Mountain, known for its expansive terrain and consistent snow quality, has long been a cornerstone of northeastern skiing culture and earned a reputation as “home turf” for the US Open Snowboarding Championships. This trip combines convenience and high-adrenaline skiing with the warmth of a social ski lodge experience.

The weekend centers around stays at Black Bear Lodge, strategically located mere steps or a quick shuttle from Stratton’s lifts and vibrant village center. Stratton’s mountain boasts four six-passenger high-speed lifts and a base-to-summit gondola with wider cars to keep wait times at a minimum. The resort’s advanced snow-making capabilities ensure ample coverage throughout the season, coupled with a “Best Snow Guarantee” that underscores their commitment to quality.

Riders and skiers of all levels will appreciate Stratton’s diverse offerings—whether carving groomers, shredding park features like the halfpipe and boardercross course, or testing jumps and rails in the terrain parks. OvRride’s package includes two full days on the slopes, complimentary continental breakfasts to fuel your mornings, and nighttime gatherings at the Green Door Pub, perfect for sharing stories and unwinding.

Beyond the mountain, OvRride’s coordinated logistics, including chartered “Fun Bus” transportation from New York City, makes access seamless while fostering camaraderie within groups. Giveaways and raffles add an extra layer of excitement, creating a signature event feel. This weekend trip stands out not just for the skiing but for the effortless mix of thrill, relaxation, and community for East Coast winter enthusiasts.
