Stratton- prince of the north east

Stratton mountain in southern Vermont is one of the better ski places on the east coast.  It had almost 1200ft vertical and is a classic Vermont mountain with lots of ice and deep biting winds.  Stratton offers vast options for lifts with almost every lift being a high speed chair.  This would cause lines to be shorter some think but this is the problem with Stratton, its PACKED.  On weekend and vacation weeks, lines end up being 30 min for some chairs and it really annoys skiers.  Some parts of the mountain are immune to the lines but they get boring quickly because they are all in a very similar area. 
Another problem with stratton are the people that go there.  They are all upper class snabs who think they own everything.  People are irresponsible on the slopes and disrespectful in the town.  This problems makes stratton out to be a rich person mountain which i completely agree with. 
Still looking at stratton as a mountain, it offers a skilled skier everything they could want, with trails that have everything to high speed lifts, this mountain is a quality mountain in the east and remains a favorites place for me.
