What is HOMESICK?
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, with an event that brings the community together through snowboarding and creativity.
HOMESICK is back for its second season from March 22-24 with three days of competition for all ages and abilities, art, photography, board demos, vintage board room, and more. This new event will be a homecoming for the Who’s Who of Snowboarding, led by Olympic Gold Medalist Ross Powers, who still calls Stratton home, along with today’s leading athletes like Zeb Powell and amateurs, young and OG, to compete where it all began. Register now, before the roster fills. Olympic medals and US Open trophies are welcome but not required.
Is Spectating free?
Yes! If you're not riding in the events, come and just check them out. The main event venue is located at the bottom of East Byrnes Side, a short walking distance from American Express. A lift ticket is needed to ride or get to the start of the event venue. Foot passenger tickets (taking the lift with no skis or snowboard) are available through Guest Services on resort.
