Stratton, Vermont is literally the birthplace of snowboarding, so you can bet that the boarding on Stratton Mountain's slopes is out of this world. Jake Burton Carpenter built the first modern snowboard at Stratton, and since 1982, the resort has played host to the US Open of Snowboarding, the premiere competition and showcase for the sport.

This rich history makes Stratton the perfect destination for avid snowboarders, and an equally perfect place to have your first boarding experience. The resort really takes care to be boarder-friendly, offering great runs and jumps for all levels.
