Most know Stratton for it’s long history of being a top-tier ski and snowboard destination here on the East Coast, but what you might not know is that we offer a slew of family-friendly activities aside from skiing and snowboarding right here on the resort. This year we have added a variety of new options that we are extremely excited to be offering. Keep reading to learn more or check out all of our activities here.
SNO-GO Bike Tours
Take skiing and biking, mix them together and SNO-GO is the result! Their easy-to-ride technology allows all riders to learn and rapidly progress to enjoy the mountain in a new way. Our SNO-GO guides will show you the basics of the bike and how to ride, then guide you down the slopes. Riders are guaranteed two hours of exciting riding with a guide who takes you on the best terrain for your group. Enjoy the excitement of cruising down Stratton’s trails in a new and exhilarating way.
SNO-GO Tours will meet in the Sun Bowl. There are two tours per day, beginning at 10AM and 1PM. The group will start on easy green runs and may advance if abilities allow; routes and lifts will depend on the overall ability of the group. Helmets are provided and are required. Participants must be 12+.
Skin With A Guide
A guided uphill travel experience and exercise that gets you on the mountain before lifts spin to ensure those fresh turns. Skin With A Guide Tours are ideal for those who may have heard of skinning and are looking for an opportunity to try it out before investing in all of the gear. Fitness-minded guests looking for an active experience will be fitted into appropriate touring gear and then head up the mountain for an introductory uphill climbing experience.
The guided tour includes the rental of uphill touring skis, poles, skins, and ski touring boots. Your guide and our rental experts will help get you fitted for gear and onto the snow for an uphill adventure. Starting in the Base Area, the tours depart at 6:30AM as guides will lead the group at an easy pace up the mountain to your desired stopping point. During the tour, guides will provide pointers on touring equipment, uphill skinning techniques, and knowledge of the surrounding natural environment. Once your hiking objective is met, you will transition to ski mode as a group and descend back down to the main Base Area on fresh groomers before anyone else has made turns on the trails.
