Stratton is one of Vermont's most developed resorts, with a genuine pedestrian village at the base, strong grooming, and a big lift network (13 lifts including a gondola) for New England. Terrain leans intermediate-friendly with enough steeper pockets to stay interesting across a full winter, and around 2,000ft of vertical is solid for the region.
The on-site village genuinely functions as a small town; shops, restaurants, and nightlife sit right at the base rather than just a lift and a parking lot. This is unusual for New England and means less need to rely on a car or nearby town for everyday life, though it also means a more expensive cost of living than Vermont's smaller, less developed resorts.
Ikon Pass access and the real base village make Stratton a solid full-season option if you want built-in amenities rather than a purely ski-focused small town. Jobs span the usual mountain roles plus a larger hospitality and retail sector than most Vermont resorts, thanks to the developed village.
