Stratton Village Webcam, Stratton Mountain, Vermont

The Stratton Village Webcam is Stratton Mountain Resort’s own Main Base camera, mounted outside the deck of Grizzly’s Restaurant at the foot of the ski area in southern Vermont. A wide lawn scattered with red Adirondack chairs fills the front of the frame. Behind it stand a lift terminal, a long covered conveyor climbing the hillside, chairlift towers heading uphill on the right and a red building carrying the Stratton logo, all backed by woods that showed orange and red leaves in early October. Three more resort cameras sit in the tabs: the Sun Bowl base lodge, the Snow Bowl on the mountain’s east side, and the golf course with the peak behind it. Together they cover the lower mountain from four spots, which makes the set a quick way to judge grass, foliage or snow before a trip.

About Stratton Village

Stratton Village is the main base area of Stratton Mountain Resort, in the town of Stratton in Windham County, east of Manchester. The ski area opened in December 1961 and is now owned by Alterra Mountain Company, which puts it on the Ikon Pass. Its lifts climb from 571 meters (1,872 feet) to 1,181 meters (3,875 feet), a vertical drop of 611 meters (2,003 feet), and 13 lifts serve 99 trails. One of them is a gondola that first ran in 1988 and received new cabins in 2014. Snowfall averages about 4.6 meters (180 inches) a year.

The resort holds a particular place in snowboarding history. It is credited as the first ski area to allow snowboarding, during the 1980s, and from 1985 to 2012 it hosted the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships. The mountain itself tops out at 1,200 meters (3,940 feet), the highest point in Windham County and in the southern Green Mountains.

Each camera on this page has a fixed spot. The main view sits outside Grizzly’s Restaurant deck and looks across the base lawn to the lifts. The Sun Bowl Base tab looks over a grassy rise to the Sun Bowl base lodge, with ski trails cutting down through the forest above the building. The Snow Bowl tab stands on the east side of the mountain at the base of the Snow Bowl Express quad, with lift towers marching up the left of the frame and the trail rising straight ahead. In the afternoon the sun can sit right above that slope and flare the lens. The Golf & Mountain tab looks out from the pro shop next to The Green Apron, over a fairway to the mountain’s trail-striped upper slopes. The summit and mid-mountain cameras have their own pages, linked below.

Stratton has set Wednesday, November 25, 2026 as opening day for the 2026-27 season, conditions permitting, and through the winter the green lawn in this view gives way to snow while skiers and snowboarders head for the lifts.

By November the average low has dropped to around -3 C (27 F).

Things to Do Near Stratton Village

The gondola climbs from the base toward the summit, and the resort runs scenic rides on scheduled days in the warmer months. The true summit carries a fire tower built around 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail share the same path over the mountain, and both trace back to this summit: James P. Taylor conceived the Long Trail here in 1909, and Benton MacKaye later pictured the Appalachian Trail from the same spot. Hikers who want a full day can stretch the climb into a longer loop that takes in Stratton Pond.

Golfers have Stratton’s 27-hole course, whose first nine holes opened in 1964, and the Golf & Mountain tab looks straight down one of its fairways. In winter the Sun Bowl and the Snow Bowl, both in the tabs, give skiers separate corners of the mountain away from the main base, with the Snow Bowl served by its own express quad. Grizzly’s Restaurant sits right behind the main camera, and the town of Manchester lies to the west of the resort.
