The Stratton Update Thread

So i figured it would be easier just to keep everything all in one thread instead of starting new threads or bumping old ones.

In this thread i'll try and keep you guys updated as much as I can with pictures and err' thang.

You can also use this thread to let peeps know when your going to Stratton so we can all shred.



don't have much right now but yesterday and the day before Stratton got covered in a nice blanket with a couple inches at the bottom and 3-6 up top. Stratton will be blowing snow this week almost every night and is most likely going to open up friday and definitely open this weekend. (weekend of the 5th and 6th) I believe they are going to try and have a little park up with a few rails and some jibs.


if you dislike Stratton please keep your hate out of this thread. Please do not say "go to mount snow is better!!!!" even though Mount Snow's park is obviously better, Stratton may be more convenient for some people and they try too they just don't have a peak dedicated to park, but you never know that might change.

thanks,
Cole

Solid weekend. The park under South American was open, and so was the rail garden under American Express. other than that I don't think any other parks were open.

the rails were super sticky. I almost lost my ability to become a father on the last rail. Trees were the best option all weekend.
