Watchung Amateur Ski Club
Season Warm-Up - Stratton, VT
December 19-21, 2025
Join us one and all - no additional fee for non-members!
Stratton Mountain Ski Resort is a premiere North America destination for winter adventures known for its first-class skiing and snowboarding. The mountain offers 14 lifts to access 99 trails on 670+ acres of skiable terrain (160+ acres of gladed terrain) including top-ranked terrain parks, slopeside Village, Sports Center, Spa and a full slate of winter events and activities, all within sight of southern Vermont's highest peak. Come and join your friends, get warmed up for the season and enjoy all that this great mountain has to offer!
This will also be a great trip for new folks; as a special "come ski with us" welcome, we are waiving the fee for non-members on this trip to encourage you to come get to know us! Non-skiing spouses, significant others, friends or family members will also find plenty to do. Weather and snow permitting, Stratton offers snow tubing, cross-country skiing, snowshoe hiking and fat biking; and the Black Bear Lodge has great amenities including a game room, indoor hot tub, fitness center, and the 43.1 Restaurant/Bar.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOMMATES/EXTENDED TRIPS
Our trip leaders will do their very best to pair you with a roommate, but ultimately cannot guarantee you a roommate. We highly recommend that you try to find a roommate, if possible, before signing up for a trip. In the event that we cannot match you with a roommate, you will be notified and given the option of taking a single room if available (at an additional cost), or backing out of the trip. Please contact Kathi Wolder, Trip Chair, if you have any questions.
Refunds on trips are not guaranteed, per the terms of our WASC 2025-2026 Payment, Cancellation & Refund Policies. We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance if you wish to be assured a full refund for any or all of our trips. Below are links to a few companies that offer individual policies:
