Stratton VT Weekend Training Details 2024

Stratton Vermont

Hello Spartans, 

The Sparta Ski team is off to an excellent start. Our dryland training practices have been both effective and productive, while the Big Snow ski practices have been incredibly beneficial for our technical skills.

We're all eager to hit the slopes this weekend at Stratton Mountain in Vermont. The conditions for early season skiing are looking fantastic, with 38 groomed trails currently open. Although it will be chilly with temperatures in the teens, the snowmaking efforts are in full swing, ensuring great skiing. Don't forget to dress warmly, even if the sun is shining on Saturday. With our slalom skis tuned and waxed, we’re in for an amazing time on the snow!

Racers, we will meet at 9:00 am tomorrow inside the Main Base Lodge in the East Wing (closest to the village). Everyone should be booted up and ready to go. We recommend you boot up at Black Bear and walk over (wear your cat tracks) or take the free shuttle bus. Make sure you have your QR Code to pick up your lift ticket at a Pick Up Box located near guest service in front of the Main Base Lodge. Once you have your ticket, test it first at one of the RFID readers in front of the base lodge to make sure it is active! 


Please come prepared with the following:

• Slalom race skis, boots, ski poles, helmet, goggles, gloves, etc.
• Hand & foot warmers
• No body armor necessary for the weekend training

Please Note: NO bags can be left in the dining areas at the base lodge, there is a bag check near the gondola outside, there are lockers downstairs or bags can be left on hooks outside in front of the main base lodge.

Weekend Training Schedule: 

  • • Morning Session: 9 am to 12:30 pm
    • Lunch Break:  12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
    • Afternoon Session: 1:30 pm to 4 pm

This weekend, it is very important to wear your Sparta Ski Team jackets proudly. Doing this will show our team spirit and reflect the values we cherish. When we wear our jackets, we can truly embody what it means to be Spartan Proud, leaving a positive impression on everyone around us.

I wish everyone safe travels to the North. See you all on the mountain Saturday morning.
