Honesty FTW.
Stratton announcement for this Thanksgiving Weekend:
"Here’s what we know, to let you know with transparency. Our Mountain Operations Team has officially made the call: we will not open Friday, and Saturday is not looking promising either. The missing links are sustained cold temperatures, base area access via Suntanner, and overall top-to-bottom base depth for grooming.
Our eyes remain on the prize, and that’s getting you out on the mountain. We are optimistic about the potential to spin lifts on Sunday, but we’ll need cold temperatures every night, so the opening plan remains as fluid as the weather.
We’ll have another Operations update as things evolve, we’re watching a potential incoming system on Thursday, and will provide a go or no-go for Sunday no later than Saturday morning. Keep an eye on the Mountain Report for updates. The good news - the forecast starting Saturday calls for cold temperatures around the clock for potentially 10+ days. We’ll be off and running if that holds true. We appreciate all of your patience, and mostly your passion for the mountain we all call home.
The Village is OPEN this weekend for holiday shopping and dining, including Thanksgiving dinner at Table 43.1. The Gobble Gobble Wobble 5K is on, CLIMB is open, Santa is here, kid’s crafts in the base lodge and so much more. Find the full schedule of this weekend’s events online. Till then, Happy Thanksgiving, and let’s see those snow dances."
