Stratton Mountain Resort, owned and operated by Intrawest, is located in Southern Vermont and offers 90 different trails on a single summit that is stretched out over a 500-acre area. Twelve chairlifts, summit gondola and the only six-passenger high-speed detachable chair lift in the New England area service the mountain's 2,003 vertical drop. Stratton was truly the first resort in America to welcome Jake Burton Carpenter and his new snowboard concept and the resort is home to the famed U.S. Open Snowboarding Championship each March. Stratton is less than 30 minutes from the outlet shopping mecca of Manchester.
