December 10-18, 2011 - Snowboard Celebration Week
Stratton and snowboarding have a long history together, dating all the way back to the very beginnings of the sport. Legend says that Jake Burton developed his boards here at Stratton, hiking Suntanner and riding Stratton by moonlight. Stratton was one of the first resorts to formally welcome snowboards on the hill, later becoming the home of the US Open and Olympic medalists Ross Powers and Lindsay Jacobellis.
Join us this year as we celebrate the sport, the culture, and the launch of Burton’s new learning program, Experience Snowboarding with a week of on-snow demos, clinics with pros and movies. It all kicks off on December 10 with a moonlight hike up Suntanner – just as Jake Burton did when he was crafting his first snowboard.
