Winter
Conditions
March 11
The recent warm us has made the snow very soft and our coverage is starting to go very quickly we are monitoring the condition of the trails and hopefully we get a bi more snow over the weekend. If you leave a track please turn back
The backcountry zone still have good snow depth above 2300′ (2-3,5ft) however we would advise against going out in the backcountry zones at this time the snow is super isothermic. On the established skin track you will sink very deep with every stride and if you have any issues while out on a tour it may be very difficult to move around as you will sink very deep into the snow pack.

Stratton Recreation Area
The Stratton Recreation Area was made possible through partnership with the Town of Stratton, The community of Stratton and SoVTA. The Rec area feature ball fields, volleyball courts, picnic areas and multi-use trails. The first two adaptive/family friendly multi-use trails have been built and we are currently working on an act250 amendment for several other trails and adaptive improvements for the gathering areas on the property. Please click on “Trail description’s and routes” for more information
The new trails on the property were made possible through a $17,500 RTP grant though VT forest, park and rec, a VMBA trail grant for $5,500 and a Naming Grant from Motorex for $2.500 and several hundred volunteer hours.
