How much you wanna pay for a lift tix? Stratton is way spendy, Bromley is way more chill.

bromley is offering 25 bucks for a lift ticket midweek.

stratton requires smart card for park.

bromley usually doesnt have their park set up unless they get some real snow.

stratton is good if you like paying $72 for 1 lift ticket, but the would definatly have better park as the season moves on, as of now i'm not sure who has better park

right now bromley has a box and a small table and absolutely no crowds at all even on weekends
stratton has 2 parks
one with 2 small tables and 3 small rails
the other with a 25-30 ft followed by a smaller jump and then you can hit a butter box, short down box or down rail and then they have a mini pipe and i think theyre working on opening the power park
so now stratton is looking way better but with like at least 20 times the people and expenses

yea if you want park dont go to bromley thats without saying. But if we get dumped on like were supposed to I would hit up Bromley over Stratton any day. But then again if we really got dumped on I would hit up Magic over Brom. Much better vibes from Bromley than Stratton though.

Stratton no doubt. Even after a dump I'd go with Stratton because there is nothing at Bromley (at least there's a couple ok runs at Stratton) and the park at Stratton is a 1000x better than Bromley. But Skoedo nailed it, if it snows drive the extra 10 min to Magic!!

I'm gonna bge staying in peru for the week too, and I personally pick bromley over stratton almost all of the time. In the past 5 seasons, ive probably skied bromley about 75 days and stratton 3. If i really want a different mountain, I'll make the drive over to okemo or the hike up to sugarbush

bromley is so chill
its one of my favorite mountains
there park is pritty nice after they get a big dump of snow and they have some great glades. DOnt use the marked glades though, just follow the locals and you'll find some sick shit. Stratton is way to expensive.

I have an obvious bias as a Bromley local, but I don't know why everyone bashes it so much. There is so good terrain you just gotta know where. The east side is fairly challenging. And the park is subject to some neglect, but its not that bad and is very lappable. I went to Stratton and thought it was for the most part pretty flat, but I also didn't know any where to look. As for John D, I haven't seen him yet this season at Bromley; he must be riding somewhere else.

stratton has some really nice stuff, like the trees off of kinderbrook. It's also alot better if you park at the sun bowl instead of the main base.
