Stratton, VT

Snow Camping

Estimated Price : $200-$300
3 Days on the Snow

Price Includes…NOTHING! No payments to us, just bring cash along to pay your own way (we’ve given an estimate).

We’ve never been ones to let the season slip away quietly. Of all the stupid things we’ve done to get out and enjoy just a few more days on the snow, Snow Camping is probably one of the few that didn’t end up in getting arrested (yet) and turned out to be a great semi-annual tradition of the Club. Well we’re doing it again and it’ll be bigger and grander than ever!

This trip is unique so there are a few things you should know:

This trip is designed with the mantra of keeping things simple! Since the weather can quickly require last-minute changes, and estimating the number of people on this trip can be a tough target to hit, we run this as a “Show Up and Go Up” type trip. That means there are no sign-ups, no advance payments, no huge commitments. Just show up the day we are leaving with your gear, some cash, and whatever else you’ll need. You are responsible for your own stuff this weekend, from you camping gear to food, to lift tickets. We’ll do a food run once we get up there, probably on the second day since we’ll arrive late on Thursday night. We’ll certainly be in touch with each other regarding gear, so if you don’t have everything you need, there’s a good chance someone does.

You will be camping in the snow! So bring any and all gear you need to handle the weather. A good tent and good sleeping bag/ground pad are a necessity for this trip. We have camped on top of 2 feet of snow before on this trip so expect it to be cold. At our campgrounds, there is a cabin that is first-come, first-served and will sleep about 8 people cozily. If we can get it, we will, but come prepared to camp. This trip is not for the faint of heart, but those who love the outdoors will absolutely love this trip.

Note – the trip cost is subject to change and will be finalized once we get signups. But, we tend to be pretty good with it so changes will be minimal.

Discounted Lift Tickets

We time this trip so that we go when our local resorts are closed. As a result, those of you that have a Night Club Card will get huge discounts on lift tickets!

Getting There

Usual rules for “Show Up and Go Up” are bring your car, be ready to use it for carpool. If we don’t end up carpooling in your car, be cool and split the gas and tolls with the other passengers so the driver doesn’t have to.

Lodging

We’ll be staying at a beautiful campgrounds just minutes from Stratton Mountain. Campsites are free as is the cabin if we get it. Complaining about the cold costs $1.
