Helpful Information

Arrival and How To Dress
Once arriving on resort, head straight to Village Rentals in the courtyard to pick-up your lift ticket and skis/snowboard, boots, poles and helmet. Look for the red awnings for Village Rentals, the courtyard is next to the tall Clocktower.

Once set up with your gear, head through the courtyard and up the stairs to the main base area and look for the “Learn To” lesson flag.

For gear and clothing to wear while skiing or riding, you can find affordable options throughout our Village of retail stores including Stratton Sports, located across from Village Rentals in the courtyard. For a day on the snow we highly recommend: goggles, gloves/mittens, neck warmer, base layers (layers under your snow pants and jacket, pajama pants work great!), beanie or hat liner for under your helmet, and tall winter socks. These items will help make your day on the hill even more enjoyable.

Your Lesson
Your instructor will take you through the 3-hour group lessons at your pace. Your first lesson will be in the Learning Zone which only includes the covered surface carpets and two smaller chairlifts (Villager and Tamarack). In steps 2, 3 and 4 you will move onto other lifts and terrain with your full-mountain lift ticket when the instructor feels you are ready.
Through every lesson there will be breaks for rest, bathrooms and warming up as needed, just let your instructor know if you need anything.

What's Next?
On the day that you complete each step, you'll receive an email that afternoon with instructions on how to sign up for the next step. You can also find these links above. Take each lesson at your convenience, but make sure you leave some weeks of the season to take advantage of the season pass you'll earn after completing all four steps.

Please call 1-800-STRATTON if you have any questions about your eligibility for this program.
The same person must complete all 4 lessons (Learn to Ski or Ride, Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4) at Stratton during the 24/25 winter season. The purchase of a complete package (lift ticket, lesson and rental) is required for each step.

Participants must be ages 13 and older.

The 24/25 Stratton Select Pass will only be issued to the person that completed all four lessons and is non-transferrable.

After completing the fourth lesson, you may call the Stratton Call Center at 1-800-STRATTON where one of our agents will verify all steps have been completed and they will provide instructions to get your pass.
