Founded in 1961 on Stratton Mountain near Manchester Center, Vermont, Stratton Mountain Resort offers 92 trails, 15 lifts and a 2,003-foot vertical drop for skiing and snowboarding. It is also one of the few eastern ski resorts with its own base village. Once offering an Austrian-themed ski village and the Stratton Mountain Boys, a traditional German folk band, Stratton has been through a number of changes since its 1994 acquisition by Intrawest. Now, Stratton emphasizes an upscale shopping experience, dining, slopeside condos and homes.

Stratton features five terrain parks, including a world-famous half-pipe, which is the annual site of the U.S. Open Snowboard Championships. Jake Burton Carpenter, a local resident of Londonderry, Vermont, invented and tested the the "snurfer", better known as the snowboard at Stratton. He went on to found Burton Snowboards.

In terms of skiing, Stratton is known for mostly intermediate terrain and thorough grooming, as well as its learning area (offering 10 trails and a lift). In addition to the novice and intermediate terrain, Stratton also offers expert terrain.

Stratton currently has four 6 person detachable chairlifts, including the first one to be installed in the East. In addition, it has the only gondola in Southern New England.

Stratton also is known for its renowned golfschool and a 27-hole course.
