I didn’t buy a pass yet!” As you stop mid-doodle, your mind wanders to all your favorite resorts and days on the hill. Where should you buy your pass this season?

Bring the Friends and Family

The Strattitude Season Pass isn’t just for college kids either. The pass ranges from age 13 to 29, to allow your friends and family members to join you on ride days and weekends. Grab a pass for your younger, or older sibling, and ride together all winter break while you’re home from campus.

Beyond that, every Strattitude season pass comes preloaded with 2 single-day Friends and Family lift tickets. These are any time lift tickets to share with others at 25% off daily window rates, that come preloaded on your Strattitude Pass. Even if you’re friends can’t afford a full season pass, you can still save the day by saving them some cash on a daily lift ticket to come ski or ride.

Apres Ski at Stratton Resort

Après

There is only one way to end the day, and it’s with a solid après. The Stratton Village is home to some of the best apres to talk about your day, brag about your boardslide, or check out photos from the fire tower hike. Whether it’s live music at Grizzlys, dinner at Mulligan’s, a draft at Bar 802, or the afterparty at Green Door Pub, there is an event to keep the vibes high all night. When the apres is over, walk back to your room at the Black Bear Lodge, get a good night’s sleep, and get ready to do it all over again with unlimited days on your Strattitude Pass.

Still on the fence? Recently voted as a top 20 east coast resort, take it from others, there are just so many reasons to ride at Stratton and experiences to be had. From great terrain parks to renowned groomers, deep glades, and a famous Village to back it all up, there is no other pass like the Strattitude Pass to bring you value and rank as the best college season pass in New England. Every pass comes with Adventure Assurance, giving you the option to defer your unused season pass, no questions asked, to 22/23 in case something comes up. So go ahead. Lock in the winter of your life.
