Magic Carpet at Stratton

Spring is coming to Stratton.  The temperatures are warming and the days are definitely getting longer.   Now is a great time to bring the young family out to learn to Ski.  They can start on the Magic Carpet which takes them a short distance up a gentle slope.  Once they have mastered that they can move up to the caterpillar.

If you find that your children are having a great time, then now is a terrific time to look to buy a home or condo.  Condo  and home financing is available and the market in Stratton Homes and Condo Sales has been busy!

According to MLS Statistics, there have been 11 closings and 24 additional pending sales in just the last 3 months and several more are happening now.    Prices in closings have been from $135,000 to $2.2 Million.  Pending sales are from $125,000 to $1,395,000.    This means there is something here for everyone.    There have been some attractive price reductions so people can buy now and enjoy Vermont this summer as well as look forward to next season.   If you want to try the area,  try renting either Stratton short term Rentals or for the Stratton seasonal Rentals.

Black & Blue Bash

The Stratton Foundation Black and Blue Bash was a huge success.  Items auctioned off were fine jewelry, a signed snowboard, Theatre tickets , a villa in France for a week and African safari among other items.    The music had everyone up and it was all for a great cause.   You would not have recognized the Stratton base Lodge.

Carrie & Her JISP group at Stratton Mountain

Living here near Stratton Mountain has been fabulous for our family.  Last year our son Madox, then four, started skiing with The Mountain School, in   Bondville, VT .    I volunteered in the school’s  ‘JISP’  (Junior Instruction Ski Program).

Macy - Skiing at Stratton Mountain

Local kids get to ski once a week with instruction every Tuesday afternoon during the winter.    Our daughter Macy, then two, even got on the ‘slopes’ a few days that season.

This winter the kids are now five and three, Madox and I skied about twice a week (he is now doing all the green and blue trails) while Macy has now mastered the Majic Carpet!

We are extremely fortunate to be able to live here and take part in this wonderful program that Stratton mountain offers to the area children.  Carrie Mathews – Sales and rental Agent
