Lift Ticket Party Favors on Stratton's 50th Birthday

Remember going to your friends' birthday parties when you were a kid and their parents would get goody bags and party favors for all the kids who came? It was like a mini birthday for everyone. Stratton still believes in this awesome tradition and that's why they're offering a lift ticket party favor for the mountain's 50th b-day bash.

On Friday, Dec. 23, everyone pays just $50 for a one-day lift pass. Order online at stratton.com.

From day one, Stratton was a lively resort community. Golf and tennis soon made Stratton a year-round destination. Among the first to adopt snowmaking and add high-speed six-passenger lifts, Stratton is also renowned for being the first major resort to welcome snowboarding and is now the home of the US Open Snowboarding Competition.

While you're up making anniversary turns, check out some of these party favors and activities.
