Winter Fun!

While big-mountain skiing and riding are at the heart of that winter vacation, Stratton gives new meaning to "après" with a full menu of activities, including snowmobile tours, an indoor recreation center with a skate park and climbing wall, and the Stratton Spa and Sports Center.

The Mill House in the Commons is open from approximately 4:00 - 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays and select holidays, with marshmellows, a fire pit, board games and hot chocolate (while supplies last!) You may skate with your own skates at your own risk at any time.
