Stratton Mountain, located on the highest peak in Southern Vermont, offers a diverse skiing experience across its 670 acres. With 99 trails catering to all skill levels, the mountain is thoughtfully laid out, providing something for everyone. In 1983, Stratton became the first ski resort in Vermont to allow snowboarders on its slopes.
The summit sits at 3,875 feet, and the vertical drop of 2,003 feet allows for long, flowing runs. The mountain is divided into several zones, each with its own character-from wide cruisers to steep chutes and wooded glades.
Terrain for All Skill Levels
Beginners will feel at home on the lower mountain, especially in the Learning Zone near the base lodge. Trails like Lower Tamarack and East Meadow offer gentle slopes and easy lift access, while the Cub Carpet and American Express lift provide a smooth introduction to the sport.
Intermediate skiers can explore the heart of the mountain via the Ursa and Snow Bowl lifts. Trails like Upper Standard and Black Bear offer consistent pitch and scenic views, while the three-mile Mike’s Way to Wanderer run provides a long, relaxing descent.
Advanced skiers will find excitement on trails like Upper Spruce and Kidderbrook, which feature steeper pitches and natural features. The Snow Bowl area is a favorite for more technical skiing, with challenging lines and fewer crowds.

Expert skiers can test their skills on double-black runs like Upper Middlebrook and Test Pilot, which offer steep drops and tight turns. These trails are concentrated near the summit and in the glade zones, where natural snow and tree cover create dynamic conditions.
Freestyle riders and park enthusiasts will enjoy five terrain parks spread across the mountain. The Progression Park near the base is perfect for beginners, while East Byrneside Park and Suntanner Park feature rails, jumps, and creative lines for more advanced riders.
