Snowboarding, Culture and Community. East Street Archives Presents Homesick at Stratton

Stratton Mountain and East Street Archives join to celebrate the history, tradition and progression of a sport that got its start right here at Stratton, Vermont.

This dual slalom race includes gates, rollers, and lots of turns on both a red and blue course. Race your gear with a run on each course sending it sideways on your board just like the snowboard contest pioneers did when, and where, it all began years ago.

Event Schedule:

Course inspection, practice runs, and starting times, by division, to be posted prior to the OG Downhill.
Announcers and Technical Director will update schedules throughout the day based on weather and course conditions.
2 Runs. One on the Blue Course. One on the Red Course.
